Is this in England?

Does anyone know if the Constitution provides for the criminal punishment of animals?

Dogs that attack people, especially young children, should be killed. It's amazing this had to go to court.

It is correct.

If a human committed this act they would serve time either in jail or a mental health facility, to be "rehabilitated" or "treated". However with a dog, both of these options are useless.

In a civilized society death will be painless.

Of course I agree. Presumably not as a punishment but to prevent the risk of future suffering to humans.


This should be obvious, and yet note the repsonses to Sklansky's recent dog post. I like to look at where a model can be applied.

No matter what the person (children included) did to provoke the dog? You do realize that some dogs are trained for that reason alone?
I have no comment on the OP's question, I love dogs and am biased. But the above statement doesn't take into account any situations, just a blanket statement.
A dog being poked with a stick will attack. A dog defending it's owners home from a thief will attack, which is right and which is wrong?
