From an Inside Edition<\/em> headline<\/a>: an\u00a0Albuquerque, NM shelter is accused of adopting out dangerous dogs and deceiving well-meaning pet adopters. Furthermore, instead of euthanizing these dogs after the attack, the\u00a0shelter allegedly\u00a0handed the dogs off to private rescues:<\/p>\n

But after one dog named Pappy killed a neighbor\u2019s poodle and attacked its elderly owner, Animal Welfare ultimately handed over the dog to a private animal rescue group, which isn\u2019t required to report where he is now.<\/em><\/p>\n

Another animal, Mugsy Malone, went on to attack a three-year-old girl.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was horrible,\u201d Ludwick said. \u201cHer face was ripped up. The father had to hit the dog repeatedly with a rock trying to get the dog off of his child’s face.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

After the attack, the dog was never put down, he said.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was given to a rescue group,\u201d he said. \u201cThat dog should have been euthanized.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

There are definitely some issues\u00a0with this article — while the dog’s listed breed may have been altered to make it more adoptable, focusing on the breed (implying that the dog’s aggression was due to it being a pit bull, and links to two sensationalist articles on pit bulls) rather than the dog’s behavior is problematic. This, however, should not cause us to lose sight of\u00a0the main — and very serious —\u00a0issue of dangerous dogs being adopted out to unsuspecting families.<\/p>\n
