A Californian man who may have been breeding pit bulls was mauled to death in a backyard, authorities said.
The 35-year-old man died after he was attacked, Los Angeles County authorities said.
His name wasn’t immediately released.
The man’s girlfriend discovered his body in a kennel area and called authorities, the Sheriff’s Department said.
The man had been feeding the dogs when some of the animals may have begun fighting and “then ultimately attacked and mauled the victim,” sheriff’s Lt Michael Gomez told KTLA-TV.
