The dogs involved in the deadly mauling attack in Compton last week are now dead themselves — because the county put them down, every last one … TMZ has confirmed.
A rep for the Los Angeles County Dept. of Animal Care and Control tells us all the pit bulls found at the scene of a home in South L.A. Friday — where the owner of the dogs had been discovered dead in the backyard after getting mangled — have now been euthanized.

We’re told this decision was not made lightly, but deemed necessary … as there was evidence linking them to the fatal attack, and due to a potential threat to the community in possibly releasing them after this … we’re told the county chose to have them killed.
In other words … it was a safety issue, and this result isn’t all that surprising big picture — although, it is certainly sad.
The DACC also clarified to us … all thirteen dogs on the premises were euthanized, including several puppies. Remember, there were only 5 fully grown pit bulls found to be in the mix.
