Dogs get death sentence for humans' mistakes

I will defend all dogs.

Breeders have messed with all our breeds and caused much harm. It's not the dog's fault.

Many times, bites and killings by dogs could have been avoided if the parent had been paying attention to the child's whereabouts. Several dog-training books say you should never leave a dog and child unattended, even if the dog has been with the family for many years.

Teach your child how to treat a animal. Most dogs do not get enough exercise for their size. Many live cooped up in backyard, on chains. They become bored and aggressive. Macho men and macha women train them to be mean. So why are we blaming the dog for what people have done?

I feel very sad that so many of God's creatures have been ruined by human beings. And now the dogs have to be killed.
