After 2 years, dog released from death row

I wrote about Mercedes the pit bull several months ago. Her owner was fighting to have her returned and taken off of death row in Broward County. Broward County had passed a no tolerance law when one domestic animal killed another. They had, up until Mercedes was released, killed 52 animals under this law.
The law was declared unconstitutional because it went against state law and Mercedes was released. Once again, I am sorry the people who lost their cat. The cat was loose and the dog got loose. Don't sentence the dog to die simply because he was reacting as most animals do who have not grown up with creatures of another breed.
