re: #136 Dark_Falcon

I’m with Cato. The “dog lovers” should be charged with reckless endangerment and concealing evidence. If the person bitten were to die, I’d add a charge of Murder 2 for depraved indifference to the list.

I don’t know where this occurred (it does make a difference), but I must interject that the odds of rabies in most urban areas where the dogs were otherwise contained is extremely remote. I am not at all absolving the owners of failure to contain their dogs in their own back yard or socializing them to prevent them from attacking non-threatening neighbors. This said, due to the species of dogs and the public hysteria against that breed, the option of observing them for 30 days as opposed to putting them down and re-sectioning their brains, will no doubt not be chosen.

If my little Spaniel bit someone and I know he’s healthy and not a threat, I might take off too to save his life.
