An 81-year-old man in Texas is dead, and three other individuals are injured after being attacked by two dogs on Friday.

The San Antonio Police Department said in a press release that the attack occurred as the man, whose identity has not been released, visited a relative with a female companion.

Witnesses tell the SAPD that the dogs, who are of the American Staffordshire Terrier breed, had broken through the front gate of a nearby home just before the incident. They then attacked the couple as they stepped out of their vehicle and bit their relative on the hand. The dogs also injured a San Antonio Fire Department captain by biting him in the leg after officials began to arrive at the scene.

Charge the owner, ban the breed. Poor gentleman who lost his life, the hospitalized person, and the other two injured.

How many times will these stories play out before common sense prevails?

Photos and article at the link:


"Police have pictured a Texas man arrested after his crazed pit bulls mauled an elderly man to death, and badly-injured the victim's wife.

Christian Alexander Moreno, 31, was charged with attack by dangerous dog causing death and injury to an elderly person, both felonies, according to a press release from the San Antonio Police Department.

He was pictured being perp-walked from his home after Friday's horrific mauling, which was captured on video."

From the DMuk link: A third dog that was present but not involved will also be euthanized.

Oh how awful and sad, all around. Prayers for all. I would lock the owners up if it was up to me, they are the ones responsible.

snipped by me for focus.

Agree with charging owners. Disagree about banning. The breed is not the problem. Crappy people that have no business owning let alone breeding them are.
