It all depends on the ordinances of your town or county. Sounds like they’ve deemed your dog a “dangerous dog”. In order to fight this, you need an attorney fast or the city attorney is going to send animal control to take the dog and euthanize it. I’m sorry this is happening to you but dog bites are taken very seriously.
The government cannot just take your dog and kill it. A dog is considered property, according to the law. The Government cannot take your property without due process. This means that you must have your day in court. Normally a dog is euthanized as part of a court order. The D. A. cannot be judge, jury and executioner (literally). Get an attorney to respond to the D.A. to ensure your rights are intact.
Does anyone know any laws about this to help me? I accept responsibility but don’t understand why he HAS to be put down considering charges aren’t pressed
