Here's an update from the local online rag. http://www.sootoday.com/content/news...ls.asp?c=70666

That's hopefully good news for the dogs. Sounds like they have good temperaments so adopting them off shouldn't be a problem. Beautiful looking dogs.

No they won't be adopted. They are going to be put down.

No they won't be adopted. They are going to be put down.

Why? Because they supposedly attacked wildlife? They aren't people aggressive and they just did what normal dogs do that are left alone to run free. They do have to eat.

And you've got an inside connection to this info do you? As Last5oh say's, they aren't aggressive to people, they were just doing what any dog would do if free running in the wild. Adopt them out to a responsible home and good to go!

They will likely get the needle.

Again, the MNR doesn't actually have any authority to put dogs down after the fact. These dogs can be adopted.

The humane society have said that aren't in very good shape and with the history with these dogs and the age and size I think they get the needle unfortunately thats the way life goes.

That's what happens when they starve. What history? That they supposedly attacked deer? How old are they? Size?

I'm not seeing any reason to euthanize here.

There are two witnesses from the incident as stated in the article.
The dogs are full grown large breed dogs which are harder to adopt out without the history of these dog's.
If they do adopt these dogs out and something happens later on ie a person being bit or another dog etc. It could make its way back to the humane society and since it's a news story it's common knowledge
The statement as to the condition of the dogs could be an opening for a statement later that the dogs were to far gone and had to be euthanized. And ultimately covering there behind from possibly being sued later.
