OWNERS of pit bull terriers face $500 fines unless the dogs are kept in escape-proof and childproof enclosures.

Under tough new laws, which come into effect tomorrow, owners of pit bull terriers will also have to display warning signs at their properties or risk $200 fines.

They also must have their dogs muzzled and leashed in public places.

I live in Hobart Tasmania and i hers about those new laws. It's just not fear for the dogs.
