You know if you’re going to have pittbulls, you need to be able to control them. Sad story for the dog that got shot but I’m not sure what to expect. I wouldn’t let my little dog get ripped to shreds either.

Absolutely. Any dog owner needs to learn how to read their dog’s signals for when they start feeling aggressive or agitated, and how to break up a fight if needed. If you cannot control your dog, it is not the right dog for you. Pits are extra tricky because it’s not uncommon for them to just snap, no normal signs of agitation like hair standing up, growling, etc. and they latch on and will not let go.

Or not walk them in public like that at the very least. This is why. It's for their protection as much as everyone else's. I've got family with aggressive dogs that they don't trust but don't want to put down. Their solution is a big backyard and walking him after 10pm.

Or putting him on a muzzle, make sure it not use retractable leash, one dog at a time and short 3 foot leash.
