The Legislature finds that dangerous dogs are an increasingly serious and widespread threat
to the safety and welfare of the people of this state because of unprovoked attacks which cause
injury to persons and domestic animals; that such attacks are in part attributable to the failure
of owners to confine and properly train and control their dogs; that existing laws inadequately
address this growing problem; and that it is appropriate and necessary to impose uniform requirements
for the owners of dangerous dogs.
