More Trouble for "Ax Men"

It's been a tough year for History Channel reality show stars. First one father/son duo featured on "Ax Men" got into permit trouble for their business in Oregon, then "Deadliest Catch" star Phil Harris suffered a fatal stroke, and now the 4-year old daughter of another "Ax Men" star has been killed by the family dog:
'Ax Men' star Jesse Browning's 4-year-old daughter was the tragic victim of a fatal attack by the family dog Sunday in Astoria, Oregon. The daughter, Ashlynn Anderson, was pronounced dead on arrival to Portland's Oregon Health and Science University Hospital.

"Everyone was there in minutes, but she was pretty severely mauled. By the time they got her to OHSU, she had lost too much blood," said Clatsop County Sheriff Tom Bergin in The Oregonian's report. "This mom just happened to look out and saw the dog and the child laying there. Apparently, the dog just snapped."

Jesse Browning made the call to 9-1-1 for help.

The Brownings own two Rottweilers, which were both removed and quarantined at a local animal shelter, where they will be adopted or euthanized. The Oregonian reports that four months ago, an Astoria deputy was forced to remove a third Rottweiler from the Browning home "because it had gotten aggressive."
Sad story.

The dogs need to be put down. The whale needs to be put down. Animals that kill, including humans that murder, need to be put down!

Why would any parent trust ANY dog (especially a Rottweiler) unattended with a small child??? I have had children and many dogs -- NEVER, EVER were the dogs and children left unattended. Especially after this family had a previous Rottweiler that was aggressive.
