Killer Dog Gets Stay Of Execution From NV Supreme Court

From the LVRJ: The Nevada Supreme Court has ordered a temporary stay of execution for the dog that killed a 1-year-old Henderson boy.
The high court's Monday order stops city animal control officials from euthanizing Onion before lawyers fighting to spare him can ask District Judge Joanna Kishner to revisit the case.
The judge ruled May 11 that The Lexus Project could not stop the euthanization because it had no ownership rights to the dog and had not exhausted its administrative appeals. Her deadline for the written order on that decision was 5 p.m. Wednesday.

This case is just getting out of control.  It is wasting court time and I am sure it is putting the family of the baby killed by the dog through hell because there is no closure because they keep on hearing about the dog in court.
Right now, the City of Henderson should just turn the dog over to the group under the condition that the group also adopt all the dogs currently at the Henderson animal shelter.  If the group is unwilling to do that, then the City should stop playing games and kill the dog and put the dog and the family of the dead baby out of misery.
