The ASPCA for allowing a dangerous animal to return to the "public"?

You cant keep an animal caged 24/7 without being cruel, but you cant have a pet that no one ever comes into contact with either. And if she dug out? What then? Ate an old lady on her door step because no one could control her?

Blame the previous owner who made her the way she is? That doesnt help the person she injured or the old lady she killed...

Blame the new owner who got too close to the food bowl and was attacked?

(I in no way endorse senseless euthanasia.)
There are places that are willing to rehabilitate animals like OREO.
