in Virginia you can't :)
I believe in Virginia, if the attack results in a fatality the animal is
euthanized, and the owner is charged with at least involuntary
manslaughter (I'll have too look up the specifics)
This is where it gets into the matter of: did the owner intentionally
direct the dog to attack...
I don't know why anyone would be cruel to a dog of this type of power. I
know enough about dogs to know that if your cruel to a dog, it'll want to
kill you at it's first opportunity.

What's wrong with revenge? I still like my idea better.
This allows family or friends to decide NOT, but allows the victims to
get a little of their own back. (Cause we can't put down the owner). I
think anamial psychologists are going to be too lenient (since they,
by their very vocation, have indicated their leanings).
(Remember, this is just for maulings).
As for the "you can't", sure you can. Maybe you _shouldn't_, but you
certainly can. The ACLU is not yet fighting against canine racial
descrimination, and the SC has not yet weighed in on the topic. So
breed hating is perfectly acceptable. =)
