I happen to have a soft spot for dogs...
I would be a person who would seriously consider doing everything I could not to do anything more, than do my best, to deter even the most aggressive attack from a dog(s) in a similar situation...With either removing myself from the attack, at the least, or discharging my weapon at the attack if that is the only other, and last resort...
I've lived with and trained dogs all my adult life and consider aggressiveness to be a matter of conditioning and environment...I do not fear even the largest or most agressive of breeds, and having no fear (concern at times, but not fear
) is not a bunch of bull that animals cannot sense it...Fear permiates very much in outward appearance in your sweating, breathing and the way you move and or stand...
Fear is a primal trigger that animals who naturally capitalize on that condition hope for, either for them to establish a dominance (alpha male etc etc) or to attack for food...
Of course breeding (cross) between Rots and Pits is a dangerous combo, of which I would avoid so that it did not become necessary to train and condition out the aggressive traits of these breeds to a managable level...
And even then their interaction with other people would be done in steps, and their interation with people who are not part of their lives would be strictly controlled and or eliminated...Thats the big key...
This Hernandez guy should and will be charged with some sort of negligent act...
Reading into the animal control officers accounts of how well the animals act by themselves, is a testimony to the agressiveness (or lack thereof) when the animals are separated and not running in a "pack"...
As far as their disposition, I would say that these animals should be destroyed...Even though I know its not their fault, their actions were instinctive and further aggravated by their environment...
This is certainly a sad incident, and one I think could have been avoided if someone had taken their responsibilities seriously enough...There is no excuse or apology enough for what had failed to keep this from happening...
I think I would have been one to discharge my weapon to deter or stop one or more (or however many continued to attack) of these dogs from the attack...There doesn't appear to have been any other choice to be made if I had been there...I wouldn't like it, but I can live with it...
