When a dangerous dog kills somebody why doesn't the police do us all a favour and put the owner down as well?

Minmi

You mean, when Saddam killed people, why didn't the international community hold the US government responsible, as they were propping him up?

Excellent question. We did try ...

Insane

For the same reason I'm not allowed to shoot stupid people.

Erm... ok Hitler.

I think for the same reason you can't shoot people that annoy you on sight.

mr smidgey

like why doesn't the police put down a rapist ,terrorist,or child molester

shoo-bop.

prolly cause, in all likelyhood, the owner did not force the dog to kill someone.

Gypsy Gal

They are beginning to hold them respon,,,,and they have to pay a fine {mega dollars} and some places certain dog are not permitted,

For one small, fleeting moment, I read your question and it made perfectly good sense to me.
And that's kind of scary.

Thanks for the laugh......

because you could own a dog train it in obedience and to kill on demand , then you could sell it to some one you praps dont care much for as a security dog and have it kill someone ,so then the person you dont like would then be removed from society .

one of many examples of how this could be used by sadistic people ,why ask this question has a dog killed someone you know? i think the owner of the dog is much to blame as the dog yet i wouldnt say they should lose there life over it ,but then how would they pay for it? thats when your question starts to resemble something of sanity yet is totally wrong. laters

a dogbreed is not dangerous, it is like a person it depends on the upbringing.

Killing the dog's owner may be a little harsh, but someone can definitely be sued if their dog attacks or kills someone. Such cases are particularly likely to be successful if there is any proof whatsoever that the owner had even an inkling that the dog might be dangerous.

Usually, if there is reason to believe that the owner caused the dog to become dangerous, they can be banned from owning another dog.

I would be in favor, but the main problem is the dog, is an animal and does not know any better, but the owner does, and the owner should face more of a punishment that the dog. But of course this woul dnever fly, but still I hope the owner goes to jail for a long time, t think about it. At least 10 years, automatically.

The dog may be dangerous but that does not make the owner dangerous too.

BlackSheep

Because the vet's bill would be to high.

little me

cos sometimes the dog can turn for no reason, then it wud not be the owners fault, but if the owner knows its evil, they shud get rid of the owner too.
