No, in the thread about the woman who was mauled to death by 4 pitbulls, I bring up the topic of proper dog ownership. I also brought it up in the one where the yorkie was shot. A muzzle solves a WHOLE whack of issues with owning a dog in the city. A) they can't bite anyone and B) they can't bark.
A good owner will muzzle their dog whenever they are out in public. It doesn't hurt the dog, it doesn't prevent it from eating or drinking or cleaning its nose. It does nothing harmful in any way shape or form to the dog but prevents ALL issues when the dog encounters someone.....Even a pitbull is pretty much harmless with a muzzle on. Other than possible scratches, it can't harm you......just think of how many hundreds of lives could have been saved if pit owners would just muzzle them? (and think of how many dog's lives could have been saved?)
