All the dogs will probably be put down since they don't know, well aside from bloody mouths which dogs attacked him and each other. [/quote]

They didnt maul him.  [b]They did mail him. [/b]He was breaking up a fight and they bit him in a bad location. [b]I guess multiple horrific injuries on the upper and lower halves of his body is “a bad location.”[/b]  Who know if the dogs wete resource guarding. [b]They weren’t resource guarding, they were pit bulls and as such come from a long line of dogs bred to kill.[/b] Since they didnt keep attacking I think it was accidental. [b]Since they achieved their objective, they didn’t need to keep going. They killed him. [/b]

I don't understand why you would put any of those dogs down.  [b]Because they killed a guy.[/b] There s rescue groups. [b]Who wants to rescue annd “rehabilitate” man eaters?![/b] Especially for the puppies! [b]Who are already have a fatal human attack on their history? I’m comfortable with them having been put down[/b][b].

We can end the societal fiction that pit bulls are “misunderstood” or only “scary looking.” They’re dogs with a unique capacity for violence, and humans bred that into them. Let’s stop wasting resources on these terrible creatures and go back to a time when shelters had regular happy mutts instead of dogs that “resource guard” by murdering.[/quote]

Tell us your experience working with dogs or is this information you gleemed off the internet?  Dogs do resource guard and especially intact males.  Not every dog killed him.    Just because you don't want to rehabitate them doesn't mean that there aren't people who do.

What fantasy are you living in that all the shelter dogs were "happy?"[/quote]
I’ll rephrase. What you and the other reflexive pit bull supporters call “resource guarding” is just flat out aggression. What you call “reactive” is just flat out aggression. What you think can be “rehabilitated” cannot be. Once the switch is flipped, the behavior to which the animal is predisposed is going to be present and it isn’t fair that the rest of us are pawns in your dangerous little game. This specific guy owned these dogs, but most of the people and the cats and dogs and livestock who are mauled to death by these animals don’t even know them as they leap over fences and burst through doors. Go get a normal dog with normal responses and let us let the pit bulls breeds fade slowly into history. [/quote]

Wrong about reactive.  Reactive is fear based and the dog learns that to get the scary thing away it barks and lunges.   You definitely can improve the reactivity with medication and counter-conditioning training.  With positive reinforcement progress can be made.

In this case, these dogs were fearful that they weren't going to get enough food. This happens to humans as well when we are in dire conditions.

If you think that life will be perfect if there are no pit bulls or mixes than you are living in a fantasy world.  Humans kill more than dogs and yet we aren't banned.  We also kill more pit bulls than they kill us.  So who should really be scared?  Us or the pit bulls?[/quote]
