“Many can’t/won’t keep their POS dawgs locked up.”
That is the issue here when you think about it.

True,,,that’s part of the problem,,,Idiots,,,
The other part of the problem is the breed and what they do
when they get loose,,,
Other breeds have to be trained to go for the face area,,,
The US Army K-9 Corps had to “Foo Foo” the dogs to get
them to attack the face/head area,,,
I saw this myself in ‘67 on Hon Tre Island,RVN,,,
It seems that a pit will always go for the face...
Interesting. I wonder if that's been confirmed by any reaonsably systematic research. Different dog breeds definitely have very different instincts, and this could be an example. When I was a kid, my family would go out to a cabin we had in the woods, and had to drive by a farm to get there. There was some sort of herding dog that lived on the farm, and it *always* tried to herd our car. It just instinctively ran out in front of anything that was moving in a linear direction. Fortunately for the dog, it was a narrow buumpy gravel road, so no speeding going on there.
My earlier point. The dog should have been in control of the owner. How much do you want to bet this dog was a fighter trained by his owner to do as much.
