I'm assuming you are asking about developed countries such as Aus, UK, and USA. They inject a barbiturate such as lethabarb into the dogs vein (usually on its foreleg). This sends the dog to sleep and stops its heart beating.

Hope this answers your question

Why do pounds put down dogs?

Pounds put dogs to sleep because there is either over crowding of dogs in the shelter or pound or the dog is sick and can't be helped so they put it out of its suffering. I don't like the idea of putting down a dog that is perfectly healthy or any animal for that matter but they do it anyway. This is the best answer I can give. Hope it helps.And that the dog could be to mean.And they unfortunately, can't do anything for the case but put them down.

How many dogs have been put down because of hurting someone?

There's not a statistic in existence that is accurate on this.. It's not mandatory for shelters to record the amount of dogs put down period, let alone the dogs put down who hurt someone. What you're asking is practically impossible.But if you're scared of dogs because you fear they'll hurt you, do some research on how to interact with dogs (properly) and how to read canine body language. You'll feel much safer.
