dog deemed dangerous. Plus the dog has to be in a locked enclosure or fence plus the owner has to follow another 7 pages of requirements. This is for any dog that has bitten or attacked either a human or another domesticated animal.

Dogs that were protecting their owners or their property not included.

This is a lot better than a breed specific ban. Lots of different breeds of dogs can be aggressive. Lots of people own gentle pitts and rotties. This way they don't have to pay the price for a few bad apples.
