Pit Bull Bites Owner On The Neck Killing Him













A Cape Town man has been mauled to death by one of the pit bulls he owned.

Jason Waverly (21) died on the porch of his home in Retreat on Sunday after one of his three dogs bit him in the neck.

A neighbour said she was not surprised that the aggressive dogs turned on Waverly; she claimed that she often witnessed him being physically abusive towards the animals.

According to The Daily Voice the neighbour said that she saw him leaving the house with one of the dogs when she saw him again he had all three dogs and was going to take them for a walk. She then told him it was dangerous and that it was not safe for him to walk alone with all the dogs.

"What happened is really tragic but it was just a matter of time before one of the dogs turned on him," the neighbour reportedly told the Daily Voice.

Steenberg police spokesperson Warrant Officer John Bartlett said the police were called to the home at 2.50pm after a friend found Jason's bloody body.

Police spokesperson Warrant Officer Hermanus van Dyk told the Cape Argus that man had tried to break up a fight between two of his dogs by putting a leash on one of them - which had jumped up and bitten him in the neck.

The SPCA's Allan Perrins reportedly said they were concerned about the amount of pit bulls on the Cape Flats. "Owners of this breed must be aware that most strive to dominate and at the first sign of weakness, they may react."

The SPCA said the family had requested that they put the animals down. They have since done so.

  2. I almost felt guilty. Almost. I thought maybe I shouldn't chuckle when a pit bull kills his owner. Then I realized that a pit bull that kills his owner is a pit bull that won't get a chance to kill an innocent person, somebody's pet, livestock... or even a kid. If someone's dangerous animal experiment goes wrong and they're the only one hurt, what do I care? This is more like it... a little guilt free chuckling. Good riddance to another deadly pit bull and the idiot that owned him.

  3. I live in Memphis and all I have to say is this was so sad. I think that after this last tragedy in Memphis something needs to be done quickly. After looking at this site I notice that this is not just a Memphis problem, this is a problem across the U.S. If my memory serves me correctly another Pitbull attack happened in Memphis some years ago, it was a teacher that was killed by a cops Pitbulls. I hate the dogs with a passion!
