Local authorities may have known about those dogs.

Local and national authorities seem to know a lot about a lot of dangerous things.

If it's a threat to THEM, they'll be all over it.

You and me?

Not so much. And don't try to protect yourself.

That's a threat to THEM, and they'll be all over it.

So, putting the owner down too wouldn’t be skin off anybody’s nose.

What is unbelievable is they were alive after the police were gone.

How do you know they are pit-bull terriers?

Packs are dangerous, period. These could be multiple types of dog. Once there are that many dogs, pack mentality is pretty powerful.

I know one wants to be kind of careful, who knows what one will shoot in that fracas, but you’d think they’d give up and just try to shoot one of these dogs to break it up for real.

Why does anyone need five pit bulls? All it takes is one of them to get agitated and the whole pack becomes so. The dogs were not adequately secured and obviously posed a threat to humans. The owners deserve to face felony manslaughter charges. In this case, someone lost her life because of these people’s moronic actions.

Interesting that horses are mentioned. So assuming somewhat rural and open, vs tight housing and so on. Possibly good shooting environment to put down the dogs.

There are no pix and no one said anything about pit-bull terriers.

Let’s not fan flames falsely, like Dems do.

[[The Putnam County Animal Control Unit has taken custody of the dogs.]]

Will they let them go free on the streets without any bail soon?

Too bad she didn’t have a firearm. RIP.

Amen to that... This story should have been about a pack of dead dogs.

“it sounds like a chaotic situation with a lot of movement and a couple people scrumming with the dogs. Hitting one of the humans while shooting at the dogs would have been something to worry about.”

Ahh, some common sense applied.

Probably another pack of pure and mixed Golden Retrievers.

You know those dogs had been waiting for that opportunity all their lives, and their day finally came. Why am I visualizing this as a Farside cartoon?
