Just a couple cases for the un-informed.

(Reuters) - 11/26/2012 "A California mother and father and their 16-year-old son were swept out to sea over the weekend after a deadly chain of events set off when the teenager jumped into frigid waters to save the family dog from turbulent Pacific Ocean waves.

The dog escaped on his own from the water off the Northern California coast. But Howard Kuljian, 50, and Mary Scott, 54, of Eureka died while their 16-year-old son, Gregory Kuljian, remained lost at sea, said Deputy Ariel Gruenthal of the Humboldt County Coroner's office."

"A 59-year-old man and his wife rushed into the 20-foot surf at Pt. Reyes National Seashore after their dog was dragged in by a sneaker wave. Four hours later, the man's body was recovered. His wife and the dog were unharmed."

So do you ban dogs from the beach, people from the beach or waves from the beach? Accidents happen and people die. Sounds like the problem was the teenager and his parents, the dog is fine. If there was a leash law for teenagers, everyone would be alive today.
If you would like some links about feral cats decimating the bird population, a quick Google search would locate them for the "un-imformed".
