Well based on that reasoning all dogs should be euthanized then. Some even chase squirrels and have other dog aggression!
Based on what info there is these dogs sound perfectly adoptable.

So the argument for the coyote hunt is that they are hurting the deer yet feral dogs get a bye don't see the logic.Quote:

Nobody here is saying they are happy about these two dogs being destroyed but unless the owners man up and pay the fines then these dogs will be put down. Animal shelters have limited space and funding. They only feed those that are most likely to be adopted. These two deer killers aren't what most people look for in a pet.
With the limited resources available to the MNR the most cost effective method to deal with this problem is to put these feral dogs down. Now if there are some bleeding hearts out there I encourage you to get them and on your dime rehab and rehome them.
Well if the MNR had caught them in the act of killing a deer then I guess they would've been fair game. That however isn't the case.
Enough that they where at large harassing wildlife. Got too treat them as an invasive species. Don't think feral dogs are under the protection of being innocent till proven guilty beyond all reasonable doubt.
What's the basis for that?Quote:

Where it says in the article that the dogs' future depends on the MNR, that's because the dogs are part of an investigation and the MNR wants to find the owners. The owners will have to pay any fines, regardless; the dogs' future does not depend on their ability or willingness to pay.
If the owners are not identified, the dogs can be put up for adoption, unless (as trkyhntr21 points out) they are not adoptable.
These dogs are not in the care of the MNR, and MNR resources have nothing to do with it. They are in the care of the local Humane Society.Quote:
