The dogs in the restaurant did nothing wrong. You're advocating banning the victims.
No, I'm advocating for the victims that are people, like the ones that owned the peaceful dogs under the table, and whose legs could well have been bitten and torn open with a dog fight under the table.

I'm also advocating for the people at the tables beside them who could have been caught in a dog fight.

Human legs under restaurant tables aren't prone to attracting an unruly or unpredictable leashed dog on the sidewalk. But mixing unfamiliar dogs in heavy foot traffic and loud live music blaring--as the squares have--is a recipe for trouble.
