Shocking photos captured the chaotic and gruesome aftermath of a fatal dog attack where a man was mauled to death by his 13 pitbulls in his yard in Los Angeles.
LAPD officers were called to the home on the 900 block of Thorson Avenue, Compton, at 7am on Friday after a concerned friend went to the house and discovered his body.
Officials believe he was a breeder and had gone into the yard to feed the dogs on Thursday night when a fight broke out between the animals and they turned on him.
Helicopter footage showed his bloodied body lying face down in one of the enclosures in his yard while five adult pitbulls and eight puppies ran around and fought.
The man's identity has not been released, but neighbors told local news he was a 35-year-old man who lived alone.
His friend called police early on Friday saying 'her friend was seen in the backyard and appeared to have been mauled by his dog'.
Police, firemen and animal control then descended on the house, climbing over the roof to get to the yard and round up the dogs.
They found five adults and eight puppies - aged between four and six months - and corralled them into a neighboring yard to get to the man's body.
Meanwhile a woman who had somehow entered the yard tried to climb up a wall to get out and had to be helped by firefighters.
Michael Gomez with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department Homicide Bureau told KTLA5: 'He was feeding the dogs at which point maybe there was an altercation between some of the dogs and [they] ultimately attacked and mauled the victim.'
L.A. County’s Animal Care & Control said: 'Preliminary information suggests the deceased individual was involved in breeding and selling Pitbulls.'

Well, it’s your right to not have guns, and that’s fine. It’s also MY right to own guns if I wish. I also have a CC permit because it’s not a safe world out there. When I am out and about, if I don’t have to draw my firearm out of its holster except to put it back in the safe, then it’s a very good day. There are bad people out there, and they won’t care what you think, if you have something they want, they will kill you for it if they have to, and not care about you, or your loved ones. I choose not to be a victim, to protect my self and my family if I have to.
Don’t forget about all those “migrants” coming across our borders.
Wether it’s wild dogs or Central American gang members, they’re here, and they will hurt anyone. It’s a free country, for now.

See?
What’s truly sad is how many of these over-bred pit bulls end up in animal shelters in Los Angeles.
I often read about the dogs available locally for adoption - it is 90% pit bulls, not a breed everyone wants, unfortunately.
These people won’t spay/neuter their animals and this is the result, many will end up euthanized.
The good news is they euthanized all 13 dogs, even the kewt wuddow puppies. They all had evidence (blood on their canines?) of being involved in the killing. What a loss to the cartel sporting enthusiasts!
A lot of people are dead because of guns. I guess you desire to ban those am I right?
Any working dog is a huge responsibility. If you want to punish responsible owners because of the actions of irresponsible or bad owners then you may as well give up your rights to own any dog.
