  1. Strongly, I believe the dogs should be killed or taken away. Having the owners paid doesn’t really make a difference. The dogs will still be on the property and the possibility of it happening again. This young woman could’ve lost her life

  2. Why should the dogs be killed? The owners should ofc pay for all medical expenses but the dogs don’t deserve to diee

  3. Both! Those dogs will likely repeat their vicious attack and this time the victim may not be as “fortunate”. The owners were criminally negligent in this episode and so should be charged and fined, if not jailed. This is not an either/or issue!!!

  4. I like the way you guys make video stories on the issues of the day. Keep up the good work. The dogs should die. It almost killed this beatuiful girl. Dogs have no soul. They are better off dead in my view

  6. We do not need dogs like these among humans. Get rid of them before they hurt someone else.

  8. To those of you who are questioning others’ opinions to have these monsters killed, wait until it reaches your doorsteps. Let that be your daughter, son, mother, father, sideman or side-woman that got hurt like that. I am sure you all will sing a different tune! Allu good too wi!!

  10. The dogs, while not to be blamed have tasted human blood and should be put down because they would attack some one else. Owners should pay all medical bills, compensate the young lady and serve some time behind bars.

  11. So ear dis yah. Pitbulls are very playful creatures. Not vicious by nature.
    Owners make them vicious. It’s not the dogs fault. It’s the owners.

    Make the owner foot the bills. Then Put the owner down. With the dogs.

  16. Why are we debating about a dead dog? Didnt they put down the dog? Because if they haven’t then we crazy up in this place. We love animals, yes, but we have to love people more. If the dog turn on family, imagine what it could do to a stranger’s child walking by. It’s a hard decision, but it’s the right one

  17. Were these dogs trained to fight?
    If so the owners should be put in jail….

    • If the dog isn’t dead yet then we are all.sleeping in this place

  18. Antigua too small for them kind of dangerous dogs roaming round. The same way you would remove a gun from the streets, you remove a violent dog from the community. Simple as that
