Cats and dogs

[needforinfocom]

After seeing a cat dying due to a dog attack, I'm curious as to what others think about this.

Two kids were walking their dogs this morning, and they were unable to maintain control (or didn't want to, unfortunately we do have people like that around here) and they got hold of the cat. A neighbor broke them up, but the cat died soon after.

What do you think should be done about people who are unable to maintain control of their dogs? The way I see it, the kids should be held responsible and the dogs put down. If you are unable to maintain control of your pet, you really have no business having one. In my opinion, that falls under feeding and taking care of your pet. The kids ran off and haven't come back to apologize or explain what happened, taking absolutely no responsibility whatsoever.

Now, I realize many of you have dogs and many of you have cats, so please, no flamewars.
