A pit bull breeder in Compton was killed by his own dogs.

It was a gruesome scene that greeted the police on February 16th in Compton, California. A man who had been breeding pit bulls was found dead in his own backyard, mauled to death. According to KTLA, the police were alerted by a friend who had visited the man's house and discovered the body. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department received the call in the early hours of Friday morning. The victim, a 35-year-old man who lived alone, was found inside one of the kennels in his backyard.

Investigations revealed that the attack had taken place on Thursday evening, between 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. The man had been feeding the dogs when an altercation broke out between them, ultimately leading to his tragic death. "He was just feeding the dogs, and then suddenly they turned on him," explained Michael Gomez from LASD's Homicide Bureau.

In order to contain the situation, the authorities had to surround the victim's roof, a neighbor's yard, and an alley. This was to prevent the five adult pit bulls and eight puppies from escaping and causing further harm. Helicopter footage captured the tense scene as officers worked to rescue a woman who had been trapped in the yard, with the agitated dogs running loose and fighting each other.

Animal control officials released a statement stating that the deceased individual was likely involved in the breeding and selling of Pitbulls. This was supported by information from a neighbor who saw two dogs being taken away from the home. They admitted that they had no idea anyone lived in the residence. "They were always quiet, never barking or causing any trouble," said April Ramirez, a neighbor. "It's scary to think that this was happening right next door. I have a 7-year-old, and we had no clue about this."

In the aftermath of the incident, the victim's father has agreed to sign over the rights to the dogs to Animal Care & Control for "impoundment and examination". A representative for animal welfare expressed hope that this tragic event would serve as a lesson to the city of Compton. They urged the city to pass ordinances that would ban the ownership of unneutered or unspayed pit bulls, a measure that has been adopted by many other cities in California but not yet by Compton.
