I hate these kinds of owners. I hope he's charged with manslaughter, and then fucked up in prison.
But then I don't have much tolerance for irresponsible owners at any level.

In the same time frame (2005-2017) that Rottweilers, German Shepherds, mongrels, American bulldogs, Mastiffs, Labs, huskies, boxers and Dobermans killed combined killed 146 people, pitbulls killed 284.
Pitbulls are a very dangerous breed of dog. It doesn't matter all that much if the danger is from nature, nurture, or both. The fact is that if you are killed by a dog in the US, it is most likely to be a pitbull.

That's less than 30 per year.
Lightning? Averages 50 per year.
So not at the top of my.worries.
lol, no one's saying you should worry about it. Just pointing out that the rarity and/or frequency of fatal dog attacks is beside the point (which is pitbulls are more likely to be involved in a fatal attack on humans).

Exactly. I love dogs (though we haven't got one at the moment), but failure to secure pets needs to be punished.

We seem to be in agreement on this as well. Puppy mills should be banned. Plenty of dogs out there just waiting for adoption.

We have to rescue "buy and dump" for our breed on a regular basis. Becoming popular on TV/movies does not help.

It is the owners. I agree. But even with responsible owners, you really are talking about trying to train a lion or tiger in the zoo.
I am no fan of assuming that a big dog with a powerful jaw will never hurt anyone. That is probably what this owner thought too.

In many ways it does fall on the owners.
Large, potentially dangerous dogs should be handled with extra care by the owners.
If you have such an animal and you let it run loose, you should never be allowed such an animal again, especially if one attacks someone.
