an alternative would be to take the dogs to an animal charity that don't put them down
I don't understand why the OP (or the people suggesting he/she take the dog to the pound) should have to question their own conscience if the dog owner is irresponsible enough to not care about the animal's welfare.
+1. Its also dangerous to leave a dog unattended on a public street from a human point of view, dog could go for a child or adult, or attack someone else walking a leashed dog. Plus the dog dirt carries nasty germs and can be very dangerous for children. Its just not acceptable and I dont think anyone but the owner is responsible. It might not be pleasant to deliver a dog to the pound, but unless owners become responsible its a reality.
Any person can buy/adopt a pet without any background check being done or any home check being done.
An old neighbour of mine used to swear by...
"A pound of mince and a good handful of rat poison"
I don’t condone such action, I don’t even know if it would work.
Depends where you get the pet. The DSPCA do home checks and will refuse an animal in circumstances they deem unsuitable. They seem to be the only ones who do that.
My neighbours wanted a dog, the DSPCA refused them a dog, so they went and got one from the pound - no checks done at all.

I offer it as another alternative.
It is up to the OP to decide what to do.
I even stated that I don't agree with it.

Shooting such animals would be the lesser of two evils...
