"Asked if he had euthanized the dogs, Batson said it was not as easy as that.
“I just can’t put the dogs to sleep like that; it would be considered cruelty to animals. There is a process which is involved,” he stated, while stressing that the dogs were now properly secured.

"I wouldn't even call it a fight it was more like a mauling it was just so vicious," Eric Eagan, one of the first neighbors to rush to their aid said. "When I got there all three pit bulls were locked on to three different parts of Dasher; one by the throat, one by the stomach, and one by the hindquarters and they were all pulling in separate directions."
Sound like a wild animal kill doesn't it?

"But the national Association for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals opposes mandatory spay/neuter laws in part because they can discourage owners from registering for dog licenses. The local nonprofit, For the love of Pits, calls the proposal discrimination, arguing it won't work anyway"
Typical, any thing that would address the overbreeding..laws to hold bad owners responsible will always be shot down by the Pitty people.

"Navarro said the investigation about that pack of dogs is closed and they will not be removed because the dogs have not made an unprovoked attack on a human"
Plain and simple..if these dogs are getting loose and attacking other animals, they should be shot.

State Supreme Court refuses to issue stay in case of killer dog

As a Mastiff person, I am sad this has to end this way for the dog but unfortunately because of the circumstances, it needs to. I only hope these type of tragedies are a wake-up call for ALL dog owners that young children MUST be 100% supervised when around dogs. And frankly, because it takes so little from a dog to cause serious injuries/death to young children, I would personally restrict a child from close contact with a dog.

Pitty people, as shown here in the comments, are just plain dumb and gullible. This person is trying to get a rise and you took the bait! I'm sure the FBI really cares. Not!
Another thing they like to comment on is a page having only x amount of "likes". Well, in the end, the amount of likes or lack there of doesn't matter. The "truth in the pudding" is that pit type dogs continue to be the most passed up type of dog in shelters and rescues. That's where it matters.

My hope is that on this Memorial Day, people show some compassion and withhold judgements regarding this tragedy. For this family, Memorial Day will always remind them of their loss. My prayers are with this family and the child they have lost.

Anacortes Police Blotter, May 18 - 25, 2012
Police and paramedics responded to the report of a man on the ground being attacked by two pit-bull dogs in the 5500 block of Sugarloaf Street on Tuesday evening. The man yelled for help and neighbors came to his aid by using shovels in an attempt to drive off the attacking dogs. The dogs had fled when police arrived. The victim and witnesses reported that the two pit-bulls had been running loose in the neighborhood when they began to attack the victim’s poodle that was tethered in its own yard. When the victim went to try and help his dog, the pit-bulls attacked him.
The victim man was severely bitten on his arm and suffered numerous puncture wounds. He was transported to the emergency room. The victim poodle also suffered severe injuries and had large areas of exposed muscle from where its fur and skin had been torn off. It was taken to a local animal hospital for treatment and is expected to survive. The attacking dog’s owner, a 35-year-old man who lived on Rosario Way, retrieved his pit-bulls and he told police that they had escaped their yard through a faulty fence. The pit-bull owner appeared to be intoxicated and he was belligerent and insulting towards the police officers and said that his dogs “wouldn’t bite anybody.” The pit-bulls were transported to the pound where they were placed into quarantine. The pit-bull owner faces criminal charges of his dogs running loose and the incident is under further investigation by the Animal Control Officer.

Manchester dog fight illustrates problem with invisible fences
http://www.unionleader.com/article/20120526/NEWHAMPSHIRE02/705279950&source=RSS
Now I agree that invisible fences are worthless. HOWEVER, in this case the attacking dogs owner was not able to control her dog and the dog went on the victim's property so in this case the attacking dogs owner is at fault. If you know you have a dog that is easily threatened, it is you responsibility to contain/control it. Also, on the flip side, we all know of dogs that, even with a physical fence, will still find a way to get over or under the fence to attack another animal.

Pit Bulls Still Hot Issue in Washington
