Why would a family with children in a Brooklyn apartment have an Italian mastiff (Cane Corso) living with them?

Asked by jca (36062points) June 1st, 2011

Recently, in Brooklyn, a child was killed by the mother’s boyfriend’s Cane Corso (Italian mastiff). There were three children in the household, a 2 year old, the 4 year old, now deceased, and a 5 year old. The dog’s name was Machete and the mother’s boyfriend used to train it to fight. The 4 year old, whose name was Jayelin, was mauled to death a few days ago. I read that a few months ago, Machete killed the family’s rabbit.

If you google anything similar to “Brooklyn killed by cane corso” you will find articles…...

Why would a family with small children, living in an urban apartment, have a dog like that?
