Sad to say, we’re already at that point. Several states require a hearing if an animal bites someone. Evidence is presented and if the animal is determined to be “dangerous” then it is put down. Dangerous does not mean that it tore the head off an infant sleeping in a pram. It means that it bit, even if it bit because some fool was poking it with a stick. My former home state of New Jersey had such rules.

I too hate this stupid bureaucracy. If an animal bites someone it should be shot on the spot, no stupid "hearings". It's an animal after all.
