At around 8:30 pm local time on the 12th of this month,A man was attacked by three pit bulls in the George King Village community near Cabinette Street in Newark, New Jersey, and eventually died.. That night, when the man was walking, he came across three pit bulls biting each other and fighting fiercely on the street. Because he knew the owners of these pit bulls, he stepped forward to stop them and tried to separate them out of kindness. Unexpectedly, the dogs immediately changed their attack target, threw him to the ground and launched a crazy attack.
Although the man managed to escape, he suffered multiple severe bites and subsequently lost consciousness. Paramedics arrived and pronounced him dead at the scene.
The police arrived at the scene quickly after receiving the alarm, and the animal management department also intervened simultaneously. The three pit bulls involved have been taken away and placed. The current investigation focus is on the cause of the attack and the responsibility of dog management.
According to data, pit bulls were bred in England in the 19th century and were created by crossing bulldogs and terriers. The core purpose is "dog fighting competition". They have tough skin and well-developed muscles, are brave and good at fighting, have strong aggression, and have a bad temper. They are born with a strong desire to fight against dogs, cats and other animals.
When a pit bull attacks, it will "lock its bite and require professional tools to separate it. Ordinary methods of driving away, such as splashing water and shouting, are ineffective.Moreover, the pain tolerance is significantly higher than that of most dog breeds. Even if they are hit with a stick, they will not let go easily, which will worsen the victim's injuries..
It is worth mentioning that in the United States, pit bulls mauling people to death is nothing new. On November 21 last year, Madison Riley, a 23-year-old female college student in Texas, was attacked and killed by three pit bulls in the backyard of a residence in Tyler.
Pit bulls dominate fatal dog attacks in the United States, with a fatality rate far exceeding that of other dog breeds.Comprehensive authoritative statistics show that pit bulls kill about 20-30 Americans every year, accounting for 65%-75% of all fatal dog attacks. However, pit bulls only account for 6%-8% of the total number of dogs in the United States. The risk is seriously disproportionate to the number..
2025 is particularly alarming, with a total of 84 fatal dog attacks in the United States and Canada, 64 of which (76%) were caused by pit bulls, a record high.
