Down, Fido. I'm not a “pit bull propagandist”. I hate the little buggers.
I read about this tragedy when it first came out and filed it under just another “pitbull eats owner to death” story. A couple of days later, I read somewhere that the facts may be in question.
I'm not sure where I ran across it, but this is the story I heard...
Pacifica dog mauling…what really happened?
From the article...
According to residents of the Napora neighborhood, the dog did not maul Darla Napora, “just found out that the woman fell off a ladder and hit her head...husband came home found the dog standing over her...he put the dog out side....it got loose and cops shot the dog...thinking that it had mauled the lady. The dog had blood on it's body because he was trying to nudge her to make her move....”
Darla’s father, Doug Robinson was quoted as saying, “Lets wait for the autopsy I talked to the police and will wait for the professionals to make a decision I have been a police officer and a detective for several years. This is my daughter and I will wait for the evidence.”
Now clearly, this turned out to be a false report from a bad source. Darla was in fact, mauled to death by her own "beloved" pitbull. I don't mind being corrected when I'm wrong. However, I'm not keen on being accused of something I'm not.
Yes. The autopsy proved that the pitbull shot by the police, had attacked and eaten portions of the Pacifica woman. Absolutely no mention of a ladder accident. Her obituary in our local newspaper had mention of her ties and participation in pitbull loving groups.
OK, my apologies for suggesting that you were willfully assisting the pit bull mafia. It was apparently planted by a pit bull propagandist and spread by a PR outfit. I actually ran across it early on on another forum.
