Pit bulls as pets are a polarizing with people in this society. Some see pits as loyal, loving additions to their families. Others see pit bulls as unpredictable, wild beasts that are not suitable to be pets. Arguments for the latter can be fortified with the Christmas Day tragedy that happened in Indiana when a man was mauled to death by his family pit bull.
Eddie Cahill was reportedly killed by one of his eight-year-old pit bulls, named “Fat Boy.” He was 40-years-old. He was found by his wife, Bianca Rodriguez in their home after returning home from visiting her family. Rodriguez found Fat Boy with blood in his mouth and her husband lay dead covered in dog bites.
The dog had to be tased by animal control officers to be restrained. Fat Boy was later put to sleep at the request of the family. The family says that it gave Fat Boy some bones as a Christmas gift and that the killing was “a freak accident.” Though the family says that they have never had any problems with Fat Boy before, the responding officer wrote that Cahill had been advised to euthanize the dog before because it was violent and unpredictable.
The family still has another dog named “Keylo” and it is unknown if they intend to keep it or not. “They were playful dogs. One slept with the girls and the other slept with me and my husband,” said Rodriguez of the pit bulls. “I don’t want people to think bad of pit bulls. It was a freak accident. He loved the dogs.”
