That was a tough video. I've seen animals "snap" before, and go into an uncontrollable frenzy once they've tasted blood. Dogs are notorious for going nuts around flocks of sheep, much worse than coyotes by the way. I'm sure some others on this board have seen this too, should something like this occur, you've basically got three choices: 1)bear witness to the carnage and hope you aren't next, 2) turn and "get thyself some yonder," or 3) neutralize the aggressor by whatever means you've got. In a metaphorical kind of way, sociopathic humans are capable of the same types of rampages (see Mr. Cho from the Va. Tech incident for a recent example of this)...the same three choices apply there too.

From looking at that video, if I were armed and present, I would have downed the pit bull via gun shot. Make no mistake, I love animals, especially dogs. However, considering my past experiences, my stated reaction would have been automatic.
