So by that rationale, if a dog kills a rabbit it should be destroyed because it's shown to be a threat?
If the dog kills a wild rabbit, I have a feeling nobody would care. If the dog had a habit of biting rabits out of childrens arms, you're kinda onto another subject where the dog is dangerous. I think you're somewhere inbetween in this case, reading the article you can be lead to believe the animal was dangerous and I can't particularly blame people for saving their own dog at the expense of another aggressive dog.
The smaller dog was in the larger dogs grasp for 5 minutes, if it wanted to kill it in that space of time I'm sure it would have done so. Stabbing it was a totally unjustified action. Let alone 23 times. The fact he was aggressive towards the animal by punching it more than likely worsened the situation, and temperament of the larger dog.
It reads to me like a case of overbearing emotion for his pet, and possibly an underlying grudge masking any sense of reasoned thinking.

That is simply nature taking its course.
Sadly that defence doesn't work in the case of well adjusted human beings.
I find it difficult to call a judgement on the situation over the Internet. Personally, whilst I doubt I'd stroll away, pick up a knife and return, I suspect I would try and kill the offending dog too. I guess I'm just not well adjusted. 
Yes in reference to the animal kingdom clearly. If you want to get all philosophical about the human disposition and its parallels with animals be my guest.
I meant to but the thought of entering into a drawn out debate on the subject does not fill me with any sense of joy, hence the post deletion

Needless to say, however, I believe the gentleman involved acted correctly and judging by the subsequent inaction of the police, so does the law.

Guy deserves a medal, 110% the woman's fault.
Police also over reacted by locking him up for a day - most cops know their local beat, at least someone in the station would have known the dog was a menace.
The dog would be alive still had the woman taken the time to train it properly.
Simple strait forward situation and outcome, if it was me I'd of shot it in the neck with my crossbow then slit it's throat / stabbed it in the brain (which ever way avoided the small dog) - 23 times because I guess the dude was fuming and stabbing it in 'lesser vital areas' - I.e. in the stomach/chest but its head muscles were still clamped shut on the little dog

He would have had no choice to but go for the chest, attacking the dogs head would have only caused more injury to his own dog. It also takes an amazing amount of force and a very strong blade to stab through a skull. Not something you can obtain from a kitchen knife.
More like a case of distorted time perception due to shock. Such a large number of wounds would be required to take down an animal of that size presuming that he did not have the precision to stab vital areas in that scenario. Backed up by numerous cases where police officers have had to shoot dogs multiple times with large calibre weapons to get to them to cease attacking people.

Quite right. I often murder people who are smaller and weaker than me, coz its survival of the fittest AMIRITE?
OH wait that's wrong apparently? Ahh its because this isn't the wild, humans are domesticated and (supposedly) civilized, just like a pet owned by a domesticated and civilized human should be. That's the difference between wild animals and domesticated pets, they are supposed to be trained by responsible owners and discouraged from murdering everything they see.
I myself own a rather large wolf like dog, except she doesn't roam the forests at night hunting for deer with a bunch of friends. She curls up in bed and watches tv like a good little pudding, because im not an irresponsible retard and know pets are a responsibility and have treated her as such.
