7. Sounds like you should thank the idiots who let their dogs run loose from the house.

"animal control officers later took custody of six canines from a nearby home that were suspected of attacking Brown."
1) Dogs will run in packs. That's their nature - even when I had just one dog (Shari of happy memory), if she was around other dogs, she'd follow the pack - or she'd become prey to the pack.
2) Packs will do whatever the alpha dog does. I've seen it at dog parks when there's too many clueless dog owners - a pack of four to five will develop, and if the alpha in the pack is particularly prey-motivated, the pack will go go hunting smaller dogs. At dog parks, you don't typically get more than four or five in a pack, as the more conscientious owners will start to get involved, but there's always those two or three owners who think they can control their dogs - but don't. The dog is the alpha, or the dog doesn't recognize the owner as an alpha.

It has nothing to do with dogs more important than people. It has everything to do with people that have taken ownership of predators being responsible and capable of controlling their predators.

The owners of those dogs need to be charged with manslaughter at the least, maybe more if they were allowing their dogs to roam because they were more concerned about their personal "tough image" and enjoyed terrorizing the neighborhood.
