Well I guess no ones about to agree with me but I think keeping a dangerous animal in a yard near where kids are playing is criminally stupid. There are numerous 'what if' scenarios where a child could get into the yard. Having a young boy "torn appart" by a dog seems like a pretty harsh penalty for a minor tresspass.
Also seems a bit harsh to call this 'survival of the fittest' Hey we are talking about a young kid here right?
I have kids comming into my yard all the time to retrieve balls. Is it annoying? Hell yes? But I think there are people who seem to think it would be OK for me to say put a board of nails at the bottom of the fence were they hop over. Perhaps I should sit on the deck with a 12 gauge and nail em when then come over??

As long as he could keep it locked up, nope.

Key word locked. Not just a closed and unlocked gate.

Who's job is it to protect the stupid?

With the number of morronic parents around someone has too.
