I am sickened that you think that way. I hope these dogs find themselves in a home that can provide the love and training they need.

As someone who was mauled, not just attacked, MAULED by a large breed dog I am equally surprised by you. That you can't understand the fear involved. I can no longer be in the same area with a large dog no matter the breed without breaking into a cold sweat. may be the most docile animal ever born but I still freak a little. Irrational fear is irrational for a reason. I wasn't always like this. I had to have my face and neck ripped up first.
Do I think they all need to die? No
Do I think everyone deserves a second chance? Depends on the crime.
In this case it was a puppy BUT it could have been SO much worse considering they were running in a pack.
Should the owner be held responsible? Yes and they should have to have their dogs evaluated by a professional and if found untrained should be giving to someone responsible. Dogs are like children. You don't raise them right and they end up in places you didn't expect like jail or death row.
