Letting a dog run loose in most cities is illegal.

My fear is that simply making the dog 'dissapear' does not address the problem - they'll probably get another dog someday, and treat it the same way.

I pretty much agree with LauraT7 on this. It really does depend
on the reaction you get from the people involved AFTER you tell
them what happens to dogs running loose. If I thought the people clearly showed an uncaring attitude, I'd ask to take the
dog away from them or keep reporting it whenever it's loose again. So sad, the dog must pay the price for their stupidity.
