If the owner of the three dead dogs files a civil suit against the owner of the pit bulls, I wonder what is the maximum amount that could be claimed and awarded. Presumably it would be more than the cost of replacing the dead dogs.
It's the old blood and turnip problem. Most of the pit bull owners have enough money to buy their next pack of cigarettes, about 20 scratch off lotto tickets and a six pack of beer. SO you can get a judgment against them. but they can't or won't pay. You can attach wages, but I don't think you can attach welfare payments.
