The dogs attacked and injured a jogger in April and had tried to attack at least one other person since then, Goetz said. "The people in the area had their own sort of emergency phone network to warn each other if the dogs were loose before they would go out," Goetz said.

If I would have seen these dogs loose after the first attack, I would have shot them on sight.

After that incident, a dog was impounded, and a deputy sheriff gave owner Jacqueline McCuen a summons for having a "vicious animal." But the case was dismissed because "there is currently no valid Elbert County ordinance which is applicable," according to a June 16 motion by Arapahoe Deputy District Attorney Derry Rice.

Amazing. Peace officers in Colorado can shoot a dog that is harrassing wildlife or livestock, but apparently the DA and sherrif can't figure out how to get rid of dogs that are attacking humans.
