Woman killed by neighborhood dogs
Montgomery Herald ^ | August 10, 2018 | Montgomery County Sheriff Chris Watkins

Posted on 08/10/2018 3:03:59 PM PDT by Norski

released this statement Friday, August 10.

On Thursday, August 9, 2018, a resident of a Lake Tillery development on the western side of Montgomery County went missing while taking her daily walk. After several hours the 66 year old female did not return home. Her husband called neighbors and friends who searched the area. They were unable to locate her and call 911. Sheriff’s deputies and search and rescue were sent to the scene. Within hours she was discovered deceased on the side of an unused road within the development. An investigation was conducted with the assistance of the Medical Examiner’s Office, NC Wildlife Resources Commission and Animal Control. The investigation revealed she had been attacked by dogs. Law enforcement searched the neighborhood and located two pit bull dogs with physical evidence reflecting the dog’s involvement. The animals were taken into custody by Animal Control and are being quarantined. The owner of the dogs is cooperating with officials and the matter is still under investigation and review by the District Attorney’s Office. The name of the victim is being withheld until family members can be notified. The victim is being sent to the NC Medical Examiner’s Office in Raleigh for an autopsy. “This is a very tragic event, which has deeply affected the family, friends, deputies and first responders, our thoughts and prayers are being extended to all.”

So it’s okay and cool to hate the people who post these hateful worthless dog-hating threads?

Cool.

Pit bulls do not need a motive.

It would be appreciated if those posting would have respect for the victim and the way she perished. Thank you, Norski An unnecessary and demeaning admonition to people who matter. I am more interested in the human garbage who owned those dogs... ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I apologise. Please forgive me. I meant no disrespect.

I believed that I should say this today because of the large number of personal attacks that come so often from pit bull advocates when an article on the breed is posted - especially when, as it does so often, the article references an attack, a death resulting from an attack, or statistics on the breed, or its danger and unsuitability as a household pet.

Any owner of a pit bull should face criminal penalties if their dog kills or maims. . regardless of the circumstances.

[I think some pit bulls are downright dangerous, it’s just not easy to always tell. But certainly the larger ones with the large jaws seem genetically programmed to clamp down on something and that something is going to be mighty hurt or dead when it happens.]


If obedience school were made mandatory for both dogs and owners, I think we’d have far fewer fatalities. Having said that, you can’t completely train dog and/or human aggression out of a line that is bred for dog and/or human aggression. What some breeders have done is create lines incorporating the most vicious dogs with other vicious dogs to the point that you have wolves in dogs’ bodies. Since we have no way of reading their minds, any dog that engages in an unprovoked attack (i.e. non-self-defense-related) on a human must be euthanized, no matter how minor the bite.

You have an unhealthy obsession bordering on some type of disorder. Seek help before you harm yourself or your loved ones.

I did stay off off of the threads of the article yesterday regarding the Michael Vick rescue dog Ray, as requested by you, as well as several others. It would be helpful if you would post opinions without personal insults. This is an article about a death. Thank you, Norski

] Pit Bulls are a menace and far more violent than other breeds. ]

Pit bulls remind me of “tamed wolves” they can be sweet but those high levels of cortisol in their system can make them SNAP at ANY time for ANY reason.

I am okay with pit bulls existing as breed, but they should be tested for cortisol levels and those with high levels should be neutered/spayed and only the ones with lower levels of cortisol allowed to reproduce. it would fix the problem in a few generations.

Info about cortisol levels and domestication:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_red_fox

Results

Russian scientists achieved a population of domesticated foxes that are fundamentally different in temperament and behavior from their wild forebears. Some important changes in physiology and morphology became visible, such as mottled or spotted colored fur. Some scientists[citation needed] believe that these changes obtaining from selection for tameness are caused by lower adrenaline production in the new population, causing physiological changes within relatively few generations yielding genetic combinations not present in the original species. This indicates that selection for tameness, e.g. did not flee, produces changes that are related to the emergence of other dog-like traits, e.g. raised tail, coming into heat every six months rather than annually. These seemingly unrelated changes are a result of pleiotropy.[1]p. 5

The project also bred the least-tameable foxes to study social behavior in canids. These foxes avoided human contact as do their wild behavioral phenotypes.[8][3]

Similar research was carried out in Denmark with American mink.[9]

Appreciate you posting. Not a pit fan in the least.

The problem with pits, is they don’t come with an “off” switch. They don’t stop until whatever they attack is dead, dismembered, and sometimes partially eaten. It’s like owning a mountain lion.

Correction; your threads are nothing more than hate-threads designed to elicit an emotional response from fellow dog-haters; particularly those who are afraid of everything; especially Pit Bulls. You should go to meetings like an alcoholic. You need help.

These threads serve no other purpose than to earn you money with the click bait links you post and push your hate on the Internet. That's it. Nothing good ever comes from any of these dog-hating threads. Nothing at all yet you persist in trashing FR. Why?

You can paint it as pretty as you like but lipstick on a pig is still a pig.

I recommend Wasp Spray. Longer stream, easier to aim & stops them in their tracks.

Heavenly Father, I am grateful to You for everything and everyone you put in my path. Today I thank you for sending Boomer.

I ask, dear Lord, that because of this privilege you have granted me, that you again bless Boomer today. Please bless him a lot. He does not know at this point how much he is helping me, but You, dear God, do.

Thank you, Dear Lord Jesus. In Your Name I pray. Amen.
