15. I too would favor a dog muzzle law.

For ALL dogs. If an owner is caught with an unmuzzled dog, they get fined, with heavier fines for repeat instances. If the muzzle is not secured properly and the animal get out of it and attack someone or another animal, the fine should be stiff. If the dog kill a person or pet, the owner should lose it.
