The Michigan Humane Society euthanizes these dogs because it is a liability to place them. They do NOT have the resources to properly screen the homes they place these dogs into. I think, much though I hate to see these dogs die, it is a much more humane and honorable death then being put in a home that will do this again and again.

You also have to realize, these shows are done for sensationalism. There's a LOT of editing and poofing up a show to give it the appeal that folks want to watch - just like newspapers and their "pit bull attack" stories.

(P.S. I'm a resident who's done a lot of work with this shelter and they DO put dogs in rescue situations IF they're available. Almost every single APBT rescue in MI is packed to the gills and often overflowing.)
