3yr old child killed by 4 dogs in Oz

Seems a 3yr old has been killed and a 16 month hurt by 4 "bull-mastiff cross breeds"

Absolutely terrible loss, I just hope this isn't used by the Australian Nanny State to further strengthen BSL.

"The dogs, not a restricted breed, have no history of violence"

Sadly all I think that will come from this is having Bull Mastiff's placed on the restricted list.

I don't believe it...

"The NSW Government has announced it will review its dangerous dog laws following yesterday's mauling."

I fault the Mom and fault the sitter . Many things could have avoided this tragedy .

I heard about that, I feel awful whenever I see these things my first thought is "please don't let it be one of "those" breeds"

from what they showed on the news, no way those dogs are purebred BM's.

RIP little one.

Sorry to hear this had happened. It only breeds infectious disease for all dogs no matter the breed.
