When I read this article about a 14 month jail sentence with 4 years probation for owning a vicious dog I thought it was pretty harsh.
However, if you read about the background of the case it seems far too light a sentence to me.
This owner was clearly a menace, and had his neighbors terrorized for years. A dog with the size and power of a bull mastiff/boxer mix who was obviously encouraged by his owner to be aggressive would frighten any sane person. It is only blind luck that no one was killed.
It is NUTS that Firestone Colorado had not done something about this psycho earlier.
