13 Pit Bulls Euthanized After Fatal Attack on Owner in Compton

The euthanasia decision was made by Los Angeles County officials following the death of Dominic Cooper, who was reportedly mauled by his own dogs.

Los Angeles County officials euthanized 13 pit bulls, including eight puppies, after they were deemed responsible for the fatal mauling of Dominic Cooper in Compton.
A friend of Cooper disputed the mauling claim, stating he died from a bite to an artery while breaking up a fight between two dogs.
The Department of Animal Care and Control conducted the euthanasia citing a potential threat to the community, though specific evidence was not disclosed.
Cooper was reportedly breeding and selling the pit bulls, a practice criticized for leading to health and behavioral issues in dogs.
An ongoing investigation seeks to clarify the circumstances surrounding the attack and Cooper's death.
