Killer Dog Update

From the LVRJ: In a sworn statement filed in District Court on Tuesday, Elizabeth Keller wrote that she was trying to revive Jeremiah Eskew-Shahan when an animal control officer showed up and told her she had to sign a form.
He never explained that she was giving up ownership of Onion or that she could contest the city's finding that he was a vicious dog, she wrote.
"As they're reviving the baby on the lawn, he shoved a paper in front of her nose and said, 'You have to sign this paper. We're taking the dog,' " said Richard Rosenthal, who is leading the legal fight to save Onion. "Under those circumstances, it's ridiculous to suggest she knew what she was signing."
Keller's statement was included in a new court motion filed by dog-loving lawyers in the legal battle to spare Onion's life and send him to a Colorado sanctuary....
Keller supports their efforts and on Saturday signed over Onion's ownership to The Lexus Project.
Who owned the dog played a key role in last week's decision by District Judge Joanna Kishner to deny a temporary restraining order blocking the dog's scheduled euthanization. The judge said the group couldn't challenge the finding of Onion as a vicious dog because, under city law, only the dog's owner had that right.

To me, it really doesn't matter if Onion lives or dies.  I just wish these dog nuts would spend as much time, energy and money on trying to save dogs who have done nothing wrong and are killed just because no one wanted them.
