The Pitbull attack caused the death of an 82-year-old mother, what punishment for 2 biological children?

In the past few days, the event that an old woman died due to being attacked by a Pitbull dog is receiving a lot of attention from the online community. Because similar incidents have happened many times, many people wonder what the punishment of dog owners is.

On May 18, the police of Di An city (Binh Duong) said that they are investigating to clarify the case of an old woman who died due to being attacked by a Pitbull dog. The victim is Mrs. D.TV (82 years old), living in Binh Thang ward, Di An city, Binh Duong.

According to initial information, Mr. NMT (SN 1982) and his wife, Ms. TTTT (SN 1979) lived with Mrs. D.TV (SN 1941) at Thong Nhat Street (Binh Thang Ward, Di An City). Here, Mr. T. has 2 dogs of Pitbull type (a breed originating from the Americas, with a muscular, muscular appearance, often used to participate in dog fights...) and Becgie (herding dog breed). sheep of German origin) kept in an iron barn.

At about 19:00 on the evening of May 16, Ms. T. took the Pitbull dog out to feed, at this time Mrs. V. was sitting in a hammock in the house, about 15m from the feeding position.

Because Mrs. V. is hard of hearing, she sits at home and speaks loudly outside. Due to the aggressive nature, the Pitbull dog rushed to attack Mrs. V. Because the victim was old, he could not resist or run away.

At this time, Ms. T. discovered that the dog attacked her mother, so she immediately ran to pull the dog out. However, the dog is large and aggressive, so it cannot be pulled. After about 2 minutes of being attacked by a dog, to the helplessness of her daughter, Mrs. V. passed away.

Relatives then also controlled the dog and brought it to the iron cage, and at the same time reported it to the police.

The leader of Di An City Police added that when the authorities approached for an autopsy, this Pitbull dog was very aggressive and reacted violently. Authorities then had to anesthetize this dog to be able to approach.

According to the victim's family, this Pitbull dog weighs about 40 kg and has never bitten anyone. However, it is aggressive towards the elderly and children.

Despite being the owner and family member, he was still mercilessly attacked by the dog. Many social media users cannot hide their frustration and concern when in the past there have been many traumatic cases related to this breed.

According to Insidedogsworld, in the list of 10 most dangerous dog breeds for humans, Pitbull ranks first. One feature we need to keep in mind when accidentally coming into contact with this dog is that they are highly territorial, meaning they will attack any opponent who enters their "zone".

Regarding the case, talking to the press, lawyer Le Viet Hung (Binh Phuoc Bar Association) said that in this case, the dog owner must bear civil liability and compensate for damage if there is an error. However, this compensation is only offered when the victim's family requests.

Meanwhile, an investigative officer working at Binh Duong Provincial Police said that dog owners must be criminally responsible in case of negligence in the management and release of dogs, causing deadly consequences. unintentionally causing others to die" according to Article 128 of the 2015 Penal Code. Specifically: Those who unintentionally cause heartbreaking events shall be subject to non-custodial reform for up to 3 years or imprisonment for 1 to 5 years. ; Committing the crime of unintentionally causing the death of 2 or more people, the offenders shall be sentenced to between 3 and 10 years of imprisonment.

However, in this case, the dog attack victim is a family member, the scene happened at home, so the application of Article 128 is unlikely. Regarding liability for damage, because the victim is the pet owner's mother, even if they don't ask for it, it's their duty to take care of it, except in the case of neglecting the victim.

As for another source, it is said that the owner of this Pitnull dog may be administratively sanctioned with 1 - 2 million VND for the act of "Not wearing a muzzle for the dog or not keeping the dog on a leash".
