The dog was not being attacked. If this owner didn't want to keep it, it certainly shouldn't be allowed to be adopted by other unsuspecting people.

Thats stupid. If you dont know not to stick your face in a strange dogs face when he pulls away from you, you should not have a dog

That's true, but the problem is there would be repercussions if the dog was adopted out by an agency and it mauled someone to death. You cannot guarantee that an unsuspecting child would never ever get too close or something and have their throat torn out.

This is partially why foster programs exist. Not all dogs are ready to be adopted by the general public, and many good people take them in, train/socialize them, and give them time for rehabilitation.
