The person was unfortunately not in a state of mind to obey the warning signs. The dogs were secure in the yard. The dogs dont inherently deserve to be put down for attacking someone who entered the property unwelcome to the propertys owner. No one animal should be responsible for the actions it inflicts on a trespassing individual. Its animal, not a creature with enough sense to make judgements like a human. If the person had not been trespassing I would agree with putting the dog down. Also, if the presoasser was nonviolent and the property owner responded violently, then I was would have issues with the property owner. This situation? Its like ignoring a wet floor sign and slipping because one was acting a fool on the wet floor.

Beware of dog signs dont make it legal for your dog/s to kill somebody, though. Especially if your gate isnt locked. It can protect you from liability if somebody, say, gets bit, but its not a murder license.

What, do you think police see a dog mauling somebody to death, and go Hold on, make sure there were no beware signs first!

No. They do whatever is necessary to try to save the person.
