Yes and they do this for a REALLY good reason! It's to stop the animal abuse and fighting of these dogs. I don't think any young child should be allowed to walk the streets alone with their dogs because most likely they will not be able to control it if something should happen. This goes for ALL dogs!


In Detroit it is a felony for a child under the age of 17 to walk a dog, because most of these Children and the ones fighting the dogs! My friend runs a pit rescue here in Eugene along with SARA, an animal rescue organization. I have seen this all too many times. Whenever I visit Los Angeles there are dog fights on almost every corner and stray pitbulls running lose around the town.

As far as them euthanizing the animals, most of these dogs are dogs that have fought and are trained to attack both humans and other dogs, and are not safe to have on the streets anymore. I would rather have the dog humanely euthanized than fall back into the hands of a dogfighter and die in angony over puncture wounds that weren't treated etc.
