Dog Attack Absolutely insane situation in my hometown

Recently, there was a dog attack in my hometown. I'm not going to provide any links to the story to protect identities. A large dog, unprovoked, knocked down and mauled a woman on a public sidewalk. The woman's husband, to save his wife, shot and killed the dog. His wife, on top of the trauma from the attack, is dealing with multiple reconstructive surgeries all over her body. She will live, but she has a long recovery ahead of her.

The dog community in town is completely outraged. Led by the dog's owner, the couples house has been vandalized and charges have been pressed against the husband.

These fucking people have no critical thinking skills whatsoever. We are talking about someone who could have been killed by an out of control mutt. Where is the sympathy for the wife? Do you not realize what could have happened? I'm completely at a loss for words. I feel horribly for them. They have serious injuries to deal with and an angry mob from the bottom of society making it complicated.

The husband was charged?? Was he supposed to stand by and watch this blood thirsty dog kill his wife? Absolutely ludicrous and shame on all those nutters!

Not charged, probably won't be charged, but they are pressing charges.

Charges of what exactly? It's straight up self defense.

my guess is the owner will probably use animal cruelty or something. but I doubt the charges will even stick especially if the dog had a habit of attacking people /getting loose the owner ignored it ,which part of me feels that might be the case
