The dogs must be kept because should the owner be aquitted they will be
returned to the owner. They can't be returned if they are killed. Granted
that is unlikely in this case, but it is still a possibility.

Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] There must be a better way --
I'm trying to understand the reasoning behind some animal shelter
in Greensboro, N.C. - forced to keep 15 pit bulls that have been
seized from the property of a man charged with dog fighting and
animal cruelty. Folks at the shelter say that they "must" keep these
animals who are full of wounds from fights, thin, have parasites etc. &
needless to say, behavior problems because -- "they must be
segregated and held as police evidence until a judge says they're
no longer needed in this criminal case". I ask you now, why couldn't
pictures, videos etc. be taken of these poor victims? Then, do the
right thing and put "them" down rather than other adoptable dogs?
The spokesperson admits that the shelter is above capacity at
this time anyway. They've put some down already to accomodate
these dogs. It quotes a cost of around $7,200 just for the first
month of care for them. It mentions already putting down some
that were definitely adoptable, but this is a court order and must
be adhered to due to the seriousness of the charges. Who knows?
Just thought I'd share this with you who are the best of the best in
all cases, good bad & ugly. This is more than those 3 put together.
