Ok, I am taking bets the company gets sued out of business, the dogs get put down, and somebody goes to jail because the guard dogs did what they were meant to do...

[Echo Talon]

Dogs did their job, whats the problem?

[PogySailor]

The dogs are at a shelter. They'll be quarantined until county animal control officers decide their fate.

Why? They were doing their job. The fault lies totally on the perp. Don't jump the fence, don't get bit.

[SouthernFreebird]

Are guard dogs suppose to kill?

Yep. This business is screwed! Reminds me of a story several years back in Denver where a man's business kept getting robbed at night. He hooked up a shotgun with a tripwire adjacent to the window that was constantly being entered through. Guess what happened? Burglar forced his way in and found himself dead. His family was outraged, "Burglary doesn't carry a death sentence!!!" were their screams. The cops took the side of the grieving family.

The current PC climate is that those that jump fences are supposed to be coddled, given medical care, given jobs, welfare without paying taxes and given citizenship. The dogs were probably not informed of the new way fence jumpers should be treated.

IMO, the dogs should be given a rousing good dog!.

[SirJohnBarleycorn]

Killing a man for jumping a fence? Man, that is hard core.

[Skooz]

Good dogs.

I hope they are allowed to live. The did what they were supposed to do.

[Puppage]

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the dogs, all pit bull mixes

[Mustard Plaster]

A professional burglar will know there is a dog and have no problem killing the dog. The idea is that someone will hear all the noise. It seems this guy wasn't a professional he was an idiot. Makes you wonder about the quality of the American criminal.

[TXnMA]

Goooood puppies!

[SR 50]

Now that's the way it's done. Warning signs should be posted advising of dangerous dogs. If you enter, you agree to be bitten or eaten alive, which ever happens, you were warned.

Maybe this should be considered by the US Government while the debate the souther US fence, cost of manning the fence and other deterrents.

Did anyone read whether it was white or dark meat that night?

[Red6]

Did the dogs do wrong? No

Did the owner of the plant do wrong? No

Who jumped the fence at his own free will and put himself in danger? The guy jumping the fence.

It will be interesting to see how the liberal media spins this one.

[300magnum]

I wonder if the fence had some of these?

Well the South side of Chicago
Is the baddest part of town
And if you go down there
You better just beware
Of a man named Leroy Brown

Now Leroy, more than trouble
You see he stands about six foot-four
All the downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"
All the men just call him "Sir"

And he's bad, bad, Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog [but not three]

It has long been the case under English and American common law that a property owner may not lawfully use a "spring gun" or similar weapon that is automatically triggered by a person trespassing onto a property and blows that person's head off.

If the dogs were NOT in fact properly trained guard dogs, but simply untrained pit bulls whose nature is to viciously attack anything they can, then the owner may have a problem.

A couple of decades ago in Los Angeles, the LAPD spotted some kids pushing a car down an alley. The cops drove up to see what was happening and the kids took off. One kid jumped the back fence that was a safe house for the FBI. The FBI had a big Mafioso who had received many death threats in that house along with his guards. The guards see someone coming over the fence and proceed to shot the kid.

The kids parents used every trick in the book to blame the LAPD, the FBI, and anyone else tangentially involved but their kid and his stupid to run from the cops. Frankly I am amaze the cops in this country do not have more problems with officers 'getting stressed' and taking out in the general population. I could not do a job efficiently wondering what of hundred of decisions I make every day that could end up being micromanaged in a court room.

[RSmithOpt]

I have it on good faith that the mixed-breed pit bulls are illegal immigrants just trying to make a better life for themselves in that our American mixed breed pit bulls won't do that guard job any longer for down trodden US steel companies.

[pandoraou812]

If there were warning security dog signs I think the fence jumper was a moron for going into a area with 3 dogs. I dont blame the dogs. The moron had no business being in there. If the guy was casing the place he should have been aware of the dogs and fed them something to knock them out. So he must have been inexperinced or dumb.

[E Rocc]

the man, whose identity has not been released,

William Jackson, nicknamed "Bill Jack".

[GovernmentShrinker]

Sheriff's deputies arrived to find the man badly mauled and still under attack. They said they were able to order the dogs away without using weapons.

Smart dogs. Had no trouble telling the difference between a criminal and sheriff's deputies. This point will come in handy when the business owner is hauled into court, and accused of keeping vicious dogs.
