Should these dogs who attacked children be destroyed?
)
February 3rd, 2010
Just heard on UK news that a pack of dogs (Fontana, California) mauled three children who were walking with their mother.
One dog grabbed the child from her mothers hand and ‘tossed her around like a rag doll’. The child suffered a punctured lung, broken ribs and numerous bites. She is in a critical condition breathing with the help of a ventilator. This dog is a mastiff.
Her brother neededf 237 staples to close a leg wound. The third child has arm and leg injuries.
The news states that these dogs have been quarantined and rabies checks will be carried out. One dog has been shot for attacking an officer. All five dogs were either mastiffs or pit bull mix.
My question is:- Why have the dogs not been destroyed already? Why do the police have to make a decision as too whether they should to be destroyed? Surely this should be an automatic procedure when they have done so much damage to humans? What do you think?
