Cox said about a dozen dogs went after Williams' three children....
No one needs to own a dozen dogs, outside of niche cases like service dog training programs. Certainly no one should have a dozen "pet" dogs. Clearly an irresponsible owner situation.
Afaik the max here is 6, if you have more, you need to be registered.
Anyways this incident must be the responsibility of the owner, he has not secured his dogs properly. Obviously they all need to be put down, and the owner should be tried for manslaughter IMO. What the law says however IDK.
Maybe some sort of causing death through negligence.
Edit: just looked it up, the max is 4 adult dogs. More is considered a kennel and requires permission. (Denmark)
Someone better be going away for manslaughter.
If I say I think it’s pitbulls will I go up or down.
Oh no, not golden retrievers again /s
I have a golden and she's awesome and gentle. That said, I had heard because there's so many goldens, they are the number one dog for total number of dog bites on children. I guess even a golden has their limits and a kid can find that limit unerringly.
We all need to agree that pits are at the very least a very advance dog for an owner, they need extra care and training. They should never be dogs just anyone can get.
I don't get why people think one breed is worse than another. I have had Rottweilers, bullies, staffies, most of these "dangerous" breeds.
They have all been very good dogs, some I would say were some of the most gentle giant type dogs I've had, because I didn't train them to be aggressive.
Just because a bully dog tends to be owned by a twat that likes to kick it and encourage it to attack other animals doesn't mean all dogs of that breed are the same.
You can tell me all day that YOUR Pitbulls is sweet and docile and wouldn't hurt a fly, but I don't believe you or trust you, keep that animal away from me and any children in sight
I keep them on leads unless in remote locations. You judge me and these animals based on the worst minority demographic of dog owners.
About 75% of pit attacks are by dogs with “good” owners and a general docile disposition. They undergo the PBMS (pit bull mental snap). This is why in most cases the owner is gobsmacked that their dog did such a thing.
Attacks by bad pits or pits with shitty owners are actually the minority.
And I’ll insist that if there is a problem, fault almost certainly lies in the owner or the victim, more than the dog or breed of dog.
I bet Kristi Noem wouldn't have stood for this.
YOU SEE!? YOU SEEEEEE?!

People get mad if you don't like dogs, but you never read stories about people getting mauled by cats.
Maybe it’s just that they’re Parisians, rather than being cats.
(Sorry. Couldn’t resist.)
Y’all should just go ahead and lock this one.
It’s only gonna get worse from here.
The breeds of the dogs weren't specified according to this article.
Dollars to donuts that shitbulls were involved.
I bet irresponsible owners were involved.
I almost got mauled in the South. 100% irresponsible owners and nothing to do with the breed.
I mean yeah they already said that were shitbull owners
Why not both?
Yeah, blame the dogs.

When will we hold owners responsible? We have started holding parents responsible for their kids actions we need to do the same for dogs.
Owners are always liable wtf are you talking about????
