Were these her dogs? Why was she feeding them if they weren't? Why did it surprise neighbors that the known to be aggressive dogs attacked? There are a lot of holes in this story.

I was thinking that too.
It's too bad the dogs have to be destroyed now because whoever actually did own them didn't do their job to protect both the dogs and the public.

Sure... Out of control. Uh huh. LOL
It does suck that the dogs had to be put down.

Dogs can get aggressive in packs, although you hear it more likely with pitbulls. I've yet to hear of a pack of goldens go on a rampage.
I wonder why the kid even owned that many pits.

I always think that the reason large packs become aggressive is because it is harder to train that many at once unless the owner is really organized, has plenty of time, and knows what he/she is doing.
I couldn't even imagine all of the care and attention a pack that large of any dog breed would need. LOL We have a pit mix, and he can tear someone up. He can, but he doesn't. He is loving and protective. He once kept a litter of kittens in one of his houses and wouldn't let the other dogs that kept wandering into our yard anywhere near them. (We found the mama later.) Pits were bred to be able to do that kind of damage though.

I notice the article didn't reveal the type of dogs, but if you watch the video every single dog brought out was a pitbull.
Lissa, they were her neighbor's dog. The video provides more information.

Pitbull can be really dangerous because they are a powerful breed. They can be very loving and protective, but they must be trained and socialized.
