The more appropriate scenario would be: Cat bites and scratches new born to death. Yes you kill the cat.
If the cat intentionally bites and scratches infant... yes kill the cat or dog or whatever... however...

The dog did not "BITE" the infant. Dogs don't have hands so their mouth becomes their hands.

My dog "bites" me all the time.... as in he "mouths" my hand or my arm. Not once has he broken skin, and if he did it would be totally unintentional (ie. me jerking my hand out of his mouth)
Unfortunately, in this case, when the dog "mouthed" child, it was fatal. Totally unintentional on the dogs part.
