Instead of euthanizing dogs who bite children/people

But a wild dog will attack you. He's free and his nature tells him to bite you. He's not abused, he's free. So again your premise is wrong. All vicious dogs have not been abused. A dog by nature will bite, even kill a human.
What do you mean by wild dogs? If you're referring to dogs who live in the wild, ie, wolves, coyotes, hyenas, those aren't the dogs being rounded up and euthanized for biting. They live in…the wild. Regular dogs are inherently domesticated. There are no truly wild dogs in that sense - maybe dogs without homes. Or ferrel dogs. But they can be trained with TLC, If they're rounded up, and too aggressive at first, they can be separated from the pact in a large room until they deem it's safe. No biggie.
Yes, I'm all for sanctuaries. It sounds like a grand idea. But not on my tax dollars.
Tax-funding is the only way to make this entire idea feasible. In order for a state / court system to sentence a dog to this place, it
has
to be state-funded. The state and feds cannot force something on someone that they're not paying for.
The state can force capital punishment on humans because the state pays for those executions. It's not like…"We're sentencing you to death, but you have to pay for your own execution! We accept American Express. Please insert your card into the built-in terminal at the top of the chair if there's a chip."
I'm not arguing for merely the existence of sanctuaries. There are already many sanctuaries. They operate on donations. But animals are not sent there by law after biting someone. That's the whole point of this. In order for that to be possible, it must be state-funded.
Without tax-funding, we're back to square one, where the legal system forces your dog to be euthanized: and you know who pays for these euthanasia? THE STATE! -

Animal sanctuaries should be tax-funded.
They should be funded by the bleeding hearts that agree with your position! Use your foundation to set up a home for wayward dogs and ask for donations.

Amen! That's basically what I suggested. Don't tax the people. Let the folks who benefit pay for it.
MAGA! FAFO!

No I don't, but the government
forces
me to do so, and would throw me in prison if I refused.
They should all be privatized, and then they would be run much better. The government is into WAY too many things, and almost always does a bad job. As President Ronald Reagan said,
"Government is not the solution to our problems. Government is the problem."

So being against not killing someone for a crime they didn't intentionally commit = bleeding heart to you?
Tax-funded is ideal, because it needs to be something recognized by the state and the legal system. Judicial courts can't legally send a dog to a nonprofit.
Tax-funding also ensures they get necessary veterinary care when required. You can't rely on donations for life-and-death situations like this. This is too crucial of an issue to reduce it to politics. These are living beings, not library books. -

I agree with everything
except for them being tax funded
. The taxpayers are WAY
too overburdened as it is. Let the dog owners and the community pay for it. They could charge a monthly fee.

But you know bleeding hearts like the OP would make taxpayers foot the bill. There will be plenty of fools who don't want to pay for their antisocial dog and prefer it be euthanized.

child
and prefer it be euthanized.
If someone has a dog, why would any sane dog caretaker want their dog to be killed? Why would they have the dog in the first place?
This is not sane or normal thinking. The only people to wish that on their own dog are the ones who'd wish that on their old child. -

Your dog is your problem. A child is protected by law and has rights. Your nasty mutt has no rights. It's your job to keep him in line, not mine.

Your dog is protected by law in that you can be arrested for abusing him. But are you suggesting we give dogs the vote? They're not part of our human society. They have their own world.

… who don't want to pay for their antisocial dog and prefer it be euthanized.
The last dog that attacked me and several of my neighbors was euthanized.
She was probably mentally ill because of overly zealous defense of her turf across the street. Would
@Brexit Means Borders
have us build mental hospitals for dogs when so many of the human variety are on the streets for lack of funding? This is a philanthropic pipe dream. Of course only a tax pork barrel could fund it.
I believe we have been trolled guys.

If he's not trolling, he's one of the biggest idiots on film|boards. Here's another one that looks like a troll job:

I've known this fool since the Soapbox on IMDb, so for several years. Yeah, he's a troll. But he's also an animal rights lunatic and if you know anything about PETA there are people who really think like him. He's troll meets Animal Liberation Front and they become one and the same.

Never hearing a concept before =/= idiocy
Right now you are learning new things. Seeds are being planted. See you're an older guy who wasn't instilled with this concept environmentally. So it sounds foreign to you. But now you know. Seeds are planted! You will only grow as a person from her.
And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane
By those who could not hear the music. -

outside all the time?
She lived about a block away so I don't know. Whenever I saw her she was chained in an unfenced yard. The chain wasn't secure enough to keep her from breaking out way too often.
