I'm going to agree that technically, the EB puppy owners were at fault and nothing should be done about the Pit or his owner since it appears they were following the law. But, if that were my puppy, I would have a damn hard time understanding why anyone wants to own a dog so DA that it would attack and kill a puppy. Or, for that matter desire to attack and kill any other dog. I would no doubt have trouble restraining myself from doing harm to the owner or the dog. I do not understand and believe others that have not been around Pitbulls also do not understand the desire to own a dog that cannot be socialized with other animals, cannot be trusted with other animals, can never be off leash, etc. Why own a dog bred for combat as a pet or housedog when there are numerous breeds that do not require the special handling Pitbulls do? This is the kind of incident that breeds hatred and misunderstanding towards Pitbulls. OK, the Pit was just doing what it's bred to do. Fine but, it cost the neighbor his puppy. Most likely, if it had not been a Pit, the puppy would be alive today. I would love to own a Pitbull some day but understand I do not want to deal with special requirements of keeping one. I want a dog that can go anywhere with me, be social to other animals and people, and above all, be a good canine citizen. Pitbulls can be all that but also can be the neighborhood terror to be feared and avoided because of their DA. Something I'm not willing to manage or deal with when there are lots of other dogs that do not have those issues as a breed standard. This rant was prompted by my fostering of a young EB pup over the weekend that I just dropped off to his new home. Sweetest, most affectionate pup I've seen in a long time. I would be seriously, uncontrolably furious if this happened.
