Unfortunately, there's a small but vocal cadre of dog haters on DU who think the only solution to stop untrained, unsocialized or abused dogs from hurting people is to kill all every dog everywhere. And forget about doing anything the people who abuse them.

Supporters of Breed Specific Legislation against Pit Bulls are a lot like Nazis that way.

And note that they still haven't expressed any sympathy for the little girl.
