Really! Good for you to finally come out with it!
We are all of the same mind.
I’d like to see -automatic- felony charges for anyone who allows their undisciplined, potentially dangerous dog to attack anything.
And that covers ~all~ breeds because they’re *all* capable of inflicting harm.
I’ve had dogs for 45 years and NONE of them ever hurt anybody’s *anything*, nor did they run loose even though I live in an area where it would be perfectly acceptable for them to do so.
[as some neighborhood dogs currently do]
-I- take responsibility for anything that my dogs may do...-they- should not have to suffer for *my* carelessness.
Punish the owner, not the dumb beast.
If it were *my* dog who had done this, I would plead with the judge to spare the dog and jail my sorry ass, instead.
[and hopefully, the dog would be sent to a more responsible owner because obviously, I “fell asleep” on the job]
Then again, I advocate charges against parents for what their kids do.
My parents raised a kid who broke no laws and they weren’t anybody “special” so all parents *should* be able to manage similar results.
[unless they, like the vicious dog’s owners] simply don’t care or “get off” on having savages for children]
