Mpumalanga police are investigating an inquest after a man with mental health challenges was mauled to death by pit bulls and other dogs that reportedly escaped a scrapyard in the early hours of the morning. Hours later, authorities were alerted and found his body at the scene. In a separate incident, a Mitchells Plain woman died after being attacked by her own dogs, raising renewed concerns about public safety and dangerous dog ownership. Today we ask: Are pit bulls really the problem, or are we overlooking owner responsibility, breeding practices, and backyard dog culture?
