"That should be true of any breed of dog, provided that your kid wasn't doing something illegal like trespassing in a fenced and marked enclosure or a residence."

According to the court record, the 2-year-old in my former neighborhood climbed a 12-foot fence. The two pit bulls behind the fence then killed the child. The owner went down for second degree murder. It's not legal in that State to kill anyone only for trespassing. ...same in most states.

Being put in prison for good probably kept the pit bull owner from being killed.

If a 2 year old manages to climb over a 12 foot fence to get to the dogs, then the parent or guardian needs to do some prison time, not the dog owners. That’s a kid that’s not properly supervised.

It’s not a matter of killing people for trespassing either. It’s a matter of reasonably containing your animals. If I hop over an electric fence and get killed by a farmer’s bull, that’s my own dumb fault not the farmers.
