PICKENS COUNTY, AL (WVUA) - Authorities in Pickens County are trying to track a pack of wild dogs they believe may have killed a 96-year-old man and consumed his remains.
Israel Pope, Jr. was reported missing Monday night and police found his remains in a field on his property, about a quarter of a mile from his house.
Police believe Pope had been consumed by a pack of dogs authorities tracked to a den under an abandoned mobile home.
Investigators found pieces of Pope's clothing and what may have been human remains at the mobile home.
He said it was unclear whether the dogs killed Pope, or whether they found his body in the field and consumed it.
Maybe the dingos ate your baby, I mean granpa!
this is why they shoot them
To have lived through all that history and to end like this? It’s breath taking.
We are talking about the demise of an unfortunate old man. Not Congress.
good thing you got outta ‘bama when you did. i could have foreseen this as your end... ; )
as opposed to dealing with the wino’s and drug addicts in the city?
Hey, I work in Mobile. I see more winos and drug addicts that I can stand. Downtown Mobile is a homeless persons Mecca.
Said the man’s wife, “The dingos ate my baby.”
RIP.
Yoknapatawpha County. Gotta be.
I had a patient whose leg was cut off by a train. We would have tried to reattach it, but it got carried off by a pack of wild dogs and chewed up real bad.
Nothing is worse than humanbeings in our society who abandon domesticated companion animals, dogs, to struggle to survive in the wild, or on the mean streets of our cities. Disgusting human beings, betrayal of the creatures of our planet. The old man prob. died out walking, and dogs were starving...what would you do if you were starving, living in the shadow of wealth and security - Of course the worthless human beings shot the poor dogs, not EVEN knowing if they were the “criminals” in this case. Poor poor dogs of America.
