Yes, double checking should be standard. But let's be clear about this tragedy: people often say, "It was a computer error". Computers only do what they are programmed to do. They can break down or malfunction, but not change data by themselves.
In reality, it was a human error when incorrect data were entered into the computer. Humans make mistakes. That is why double or even triple checking should be standard.
I feel very sorry for the poor lady who has literally had her dog taken away from her. This is a tragedy which should never have happened. I shall post this piece of news on another forum. The more critical publicity it gets, the more likely so-called "animal protection" is likely to act to prevent the same thing happening again.
