Why dont we put the people down then? They are the ones who left the dog out. All Im saying is, how can you claim to be acting responsibly by killing something that did not know what it was doing?

I know animal control can come and take it and put it down. Doesnt make it right.

It may not be the dog’s fault, but what would you recommend instead? The owners were obviously unfit to handle such a dangerous animal, so unless they could find a suitable home for the dog to live out its days (which are in short supply already, even for nice dogs), what is the harm in putting it out of its misery? Dogs that unstable are not living happily, but rather stressed and fearful, which is really no way to live at all. They can’t tell us when they’re uncomfortable in any other way than with their teeth. I think it would be cruel to keep it alive if it was so on-edge that it couldn’t handle being close to a human, which is what it was bred to do.
