4 dogs are being held in our local Humane Society for "attacking" three kids. The kids suffered scratches and admit that the dogs "might" have been playing because the kids were jumping around and acting silly. Because of the type of dog they are they were taken by the Humane Society. BUT, and this is the worse part, they may be euthanized before they ever get to court. Owners are responsible for paying $300 a month for the care of the dogs in custody, that's $1200 total for this owner. The Director of the Humane Society says that even though these dogs didn't cause severe injury they don't consider them adoptable because they "have the ability" to cause severe injury. So unless this owner comes up with $1200 a month these animals will never have their day in court. Guilty just because they are Pit Bulls. All dogs have the "ability" to cause severe injury regardless of breed. We really need to be concerned about these types of situations.
