As crappy as the situation is, I understand when they label and destroy dogs that have issues like food aggression. It's hard enough to adopt out the dogs that they have there that have no aggression issues. There are far too many animals in shelters as it is, and they probably have to be pretty cold about the whole thing in order for it to be effective at all. In a perfect world, these dogs would never have been mistreated or neglected in the first place, and if they were, they'd have the money, manpower and time to train all of the dogs that come through the shelter. As much as I hate the idea of a dog being put down because of the way it has been treated by humans, it's unfortunately a part of the whole scheme of things. They have to disclose the information they know about the dog, including aggression issues and when faced with choosing a dog that is food aggressive as opposed to one who isn't...most are going to choose the dog that isn't. And especially in a shelter where a dog will be put to sleep if it isn't adopted within a certain amount of time, and certainly no shortage of dogs (without food aggression issues or other aggression issues) who need the space at the shelter and are more likely going to be adopted. Sorry this is a bit harder to type than I expected. I know what I'm trying to say.
