Pit bulls are dangerous animals. All of them need to be euthanized. Let the flaming (from pit bull owners) begin.
Paging Chet99! Or whatever he’s calling himself these days.
I hope they can determine which dogs were not involved in the mauling itself, if possible. Otherwise, off with their heads. Damn Pit Bulls.

A .380 would not be to big to jog with and would stop a dog. Heck I guess some 9’s are as light as some .380s. California prefers you defenseless, though.
Kill the owners of Pit Bulls.
Its not the dogs fault!
This is Antelope Valley. It’s the upper desert. Dogs don’t survive in the upper desert very long living outside without food and housing assistance. I suspect that the marijuana grower is in deep trouble.
Pit Bulls have the blood of the extinct English White Terrier. The White Terrier was considered such a public nuisance in England in the early to mid 1800's, that a proclamation was made to destroy them as a breed. Naturally, you won't see this information reported on the all the "Dog of Peace" websites. In old photographs - search google - you can see obvious physical traits of the English White Terrier that have been passed down to our present day Dogs of Peace.
Littlerock bummer....
RIP Pamela Marie Devitt.
Sorry can't agree.
My brother has/had several rotwelliers over the years and they never showed any more aggression than other dogs.
He would let them roam when he had guests over and I never witnessed any offense action other than sniffing.
Not that I would allow them to go go unsupervised around small children, mind you.
It's the owners who train them to be aggressive. IMHO...
You need to charge the owner; not the dogs and put strict restrictions on breeding. That’s where the problem is. Not all pit bulls are dangerous.
I don’t have a dog in this fight, so to speak because I had had a couple rescue pits 20-25 years ago. Good friendly dogs but they could get a little worked up and rough when wrestling with them.
I firmly believe that the breed of the dog brings with it certain characteristics.
I have a very large (110 lb) 6 year old yellow lab. From a long line of non-working labs (I prefer elk and deer to ducks). I never taught him to retrieve. From day one if I tossed it, he would bring it. All he wants to do is retrieve (and dig holes and each trees). He will play fetch until he drops.
I have a St. Bernard. She follows my kids whenever they go outside and sits with them. She does not play, She just watches them. If someone comes up to the house, she gets between my boys and the visitor. She actually leans into my boys and pushes them back. She will beg to go outside just to sit in the snow for an hour or two.
I also have a very old collie/sheperd mix. He’ll play “fetch” for a few minutes but gets bored. What he does do is herd us, the other dogs and goats. I never taught him to herd the goats. He just does it.
We also have weird little terrier mix. He’s small, fearless and kills every shrew or mouse he can sniff out and dig up. It’s what they do.
All four of my dogs have the natural, noted temperment and traits of their respective breeds. Animal temperment is not something that is made up.
Jogging.....
...bad for your health....
I walk....so my Sig doesn’t bounce....
38 U.S. fatal dog attacks occurred in 2012. Pit bulls contributed to 61% (23) of these deaths. Pit bulls make up less than 5% of the total U.S. dog population.
When are they going to do something about dachshunds?

Sheriff’s deputies carried eight dogs, six of them pit bulls, out of a house in the 37700 block of 115th Street in Littlerock around 5:30 p.m., authorities said.
Four people, two men and two women, were detained at the house by deputies.
The Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control responded to the call of a fatal pit bull attack around 9:30 a.m.
Pamela Marie Devitt, 63
The victim was identified by the L.A. County Coroner’s Office as Pamela Marie Devitt, 63, of Littlerock.
She was out for her morning walk on Avenue 5, between 110th Street East and 113th Street East, when she was attacked, authorities said.
Devitt died while being transported by ambulance to an area hospital.
A woman driving by saw a pack of dogs attacking the victim on the ground, said Lt. John Corina, of the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department.
“She sees a group of dogs and it looks like they’re attacking something,” Corina said. “As she gets closer, she sees it’s a woman face down on the ground.”
The woman honked her horn to try to scare the dogs away, but they turned and attacked her car, biting at the tires, Corina said.
