Man in Opelousas was mauled to death Tuesday after the owners two mutts exited her car when she opened the door.

OPELOUSAS, La. — Investigators with the Opelousas Police Department (OPD) are investigating a fatal dog attack that occurred at 12:02 a.m. in the 600 block of S. Court Street.
Upon arrival, officers located an unresponsive male in the street. Paramedics provided life-saving measures; however, the victim could not be revived, according to an OPD spokesperson.

Investigators determined that the victim had been attacked by two dogs belonging to Kimberly Faulk.

Breed of Peace Strikes Again


I get it -- some breeds are certainly more capable of causing severe injury and/or death than other breeds, and a American Staffordshire Terrier is certainly one of those. Same can be said for many others, including a Doberman, German Shepherd, Belgium Malinois, Rottweiler, Cane Corso, etc.

Unfortunately many of these breeds that can cause severe injury are in the hands of people who have no business owning these types of breeds, much less a Yorkie.

I have two of the breeds mentioned above. But I work with them daily. I also keep them fenced in. And when we go for walks, they are on a leash. I also have the ability to recall them too, in the event that an emergency happens. Neither have ever shown any type of aggressive behavior, but I attribute that to proper socialization, stimulation, training, and boundaries that I have provided for them. Sadly, many people don't -- and behaviorial issues can occur, which includes aggressive behavior.

What do you have?

It sounds like you take care of your dogs and understand what it means to have that type of dog.

I think it’s more common for these dogs to be mismatched with their owners- and I hate reading about the outcomes, especially for innocent people and children that had nothing to do with the keeping of such breeds.

I’m ready for a pibble ban. A lot of those other breeds in your list have practical applications and aren’t as hair trigger as the common ghetto/trailer park pibble.

oh boy. We are about to have 5 pages of baws claiming that they could easily have killed both dogs with their bare hands.


Most people don't realize how fuggin strong a dog is.

Yet we almost never see stories where these other large breeds are mauling or killing people. Hmmm. It always seems to be one breed in particular.

This breed has proven time and time again that it isn’t always about who raises it, owns it, or trains it. There are far too many cases where the story afterward is, ‘He was our family pet for years,’ or ‘He had never shown aggression toward our children before,’ and yet a child ends up dead or permanently disfigured. I’m not willing to gamble with a human life to prove that I can raise or train a particular breed differently. If you knowingly accept that risk and put the dog above the safety of another human being, then we simply have very different values. Human life should always be paramount. Believing you can guarantee that your dog will be the exception is a risk I would never be willing to take.

Wish i could find the video of this baw who got chased onto the hood of a car at night by 3 of these type of canine yutes. He had a wood board with him and proceeded to starch all 3 dogs up dead cold. The best part of the video is the woman inside the car asking why he had to do that. had he fallen off the car, he would have been mauled to death.

ETA: Found it. Very very nsfw and nsfl for the pibbies in question lol

Good for you for doing normal things that any responsible dog owner should do.

And I've always said that one reason pitbulls are so prevalent in attacks is due to who generally owns them (i.e. irresponsible trash). However, there is more to it than simply that reason though, and the absolutely disproportionate number of cases like this involving pitbulls speaks volumes. Whether it is predisposition buried in their DNA (instinct) or some other reason, pits definitely are more dangerous than any other breed of dogs by a large margin.

I've known a good many pits who were calm and lovable animals. But I also wouldn't leave them alone with my child either. Because if they do ever snap, they are built for destroying things.

Pitbulls account for at least 1/2 of all fatal dog bite incidents, according to dog bite.org.

My question is who is out walking at midnight or driving around with dogs. Must be a busy area.

Raised a 140# Rott inside and he was gentle as a lamb Unless I was gone and wife was home alone.
Telephone box was in my backyard and the phone guys would throw shite for him from across the gate. Wife had to tell them if they came through the gate they would be there until I got home.
Every pit I have been close to eventually snapped and got lead poisoning.
