Totally agree. To me it is no question that these dogs should be put down. I feel bad for the dogs, but unless some can ganuntee 100% that these dogs will never attack again, it is too dangerous.

What if these dogs attack a small child next time? How would the person who vouched that these dogs can be rehabilitated feel?

Dogs are animals, they do inherently deserve our respect, and we owe it to them to provide a humane environment. They however are not people, and should not be afforded the same rights. If you maul (like in this case), your done, period. Charge the owners with large fines and jail. They are the ones who caused this, but unfortunately the dog does have to pay that price.
