Unfortunately, the dogs might end up getting euthanized if there isn't a shelter to take them. It's a sad situation for this community

If the animal is known to be dangerous.. this actually clears up why there are so many people, many children getting attacked by dogs and people having dangerous dogs they either can't control or they get out and attack people. What is more important here, public safety, think about the numbers of children at least, getting attacked by dogs or just keeping a dangerous animal in society. Dangerous people end up in prison for public safety.

why are you showing video of dogs that aren't dangerous in a story about dangerous dogs? why not show video of the dangerous ones if there are so many of them? none of the dogs in this story are acting aggressive or dangerous, one is wagging his tail as the worker lets him outside from inside the kennel with the dog right next to her...
