The main problem I have with this is that three days seems too short a time for the owners to retrieve the pet(s). For me, it's not uncommon for my cat to be gone for 2-3 days without me seeing anything of him. So the animal officer picks him up on day 1, and kills him on day 3, before I even notice he's gone? Hmm...
I think 6 days is a reasonable amount of time. It's unfortunate that they have to be put down at all, but I don't see any other solution. But three days? That's kind of like saying "if you don't pull over the within 3 seconds of the blue lights turning on, we shoot you."
OK, maybe that was an exaggeration. But the point stands. 3 days is just not long enough.
