No matter what party here instigated this, I have a hard time believing that the actions of the pitbulls were reasonable or acceptable. A dog nipping at another dog at a dark park is an acceptable risk to most dog owners I would bet (whether their dog is the victim or not). A dog tearing another dog almost in half... not acceptable. If that is how a dog responds to another dog being nippy, then put her down. By the sounds of it, the dog that was torn up the most was a bystander.

Yup. But they were in a pack (and it sounds like they weren't dogs who lived with each other, so may not have been totally comfortable with each other anyway), and once one of them started, that was that. More blame lies with the caretaker for those pitbulls for being unable to control them. Muzzles in this case would have been a pretty good idea.
