âÂÂI think the pit bulls should be destroyed, the owners should be criminally prosecuted.âÂÂ

âÂÂI think that putting the dog to sleep is a big enough punishment. I donâÂÂt think they should have criminal charges.âÂÂ

Danetta Mendenhall, Kansas University law student, Lawrence

âÂÂI think the owners should be fined. I think breed pit bulls are aggressive, and I think a responsible owner of a pit bull would keep that in mind.âÂÂ

Renee Stains, GIS analyst for city of Lawrence, Lawrence

âÂÂI think the dogs should definitely be put to sleep because they are obviously violent and donâÂÂt need to be loose in the neighborhood.âÂÂ
