I believe the poor moral decisions we make, will evenutally affect the legal decisions we are forced to make/accept because of tragedies like this.......and believing that it is 'okay' to tie a large dog in an unsecure area, unsupervised, even when the law currently supports it, doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. We can hope we don't see this community overreact here and ban rottweiler ownership as a result of this, but it's almost certainly a discussion that is being had by some in that area, I'm sure.......
The whole is judged by the actions of a few.........
