I demand equal rights for animals

When a dog, someone's pet, a cherished, loved and important member of a family - nay, sometimes someone's only family - attacks a human being without any provocation, what is it that typically happens?

Does it matter that the dog doesn't realize it's doing wrong; that it's actions are unacceptable. Does the dog ever look back on it's actions with remorse or guilt. Does it have the mental capacity to understand the logic behind why it's a bad thing to attack people? Does it even remember the incident? Do the courts ever consider that, being a dog, it's simply in it's nature to bite things (I mean, look at them teeth!)? Do they propose that the dog get proper training (paid for by taxpayers of course) so that it does not commit this act again?

No.

In most every case the dog is, with little dispute, ordered to be put down.

Does that seem right to you?
