Mauling Death Sets Off Review of Dog Laws

What is your thoughts on this.

I like to see this happen if the dog is dangerous but to just do it cause of the breed I think not.

 

I have mixed feelings towards this. It is not a breed specific law they are talking about. It is prosecuting any dog owns whose dog kills a person. Period whether its a golden retriver or a pit bull.

My issue with this if we set a law saying if your dog injures or kills someone you will go to jail. Ok if you have trained a mean dog like a case of 3 rotts a few years ago. But I do believe there are circumstances when perfectly nice good family pets do snap. Does the owner need to be punished then ? I think if they refined it a little bit it might be a good thing so we can punish the people that raise their dogs to be killers and then the dogs do what they were trained to do. I can see then charging someone with their dogs actions. Anyway I think it gets tricky when punishing a owner for its dogs reactions.
