Montgomery County Sheriff Chris Watkins 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.”
As a child, I was attacked by a ‘nice dog’ from a ‘nice home’ that ‘never did that before’, TWICE. I have facial scars that have been with me since I was a small child. My lip was bitten in two. So was my sister’s. She had to live with her facial disfigurement all her life. The dog was not euthanized or destroyed. It was eventually killed by a neighbor that shot it for attacking his child in their own yard.
I would gladly and with great glee exterminate personally every damn Pit Bull on Earth, owners be damned to hell.
It is a ‘breed’, not a species. It should be exterminated. If you don’t agree, fine. That is MY opinion and has been since I was a child and nothing you say or do will ever change that................
I guess we're done, you will never convince me and God knows I will never convince you to even mitigate your hate.
I don’t hate all dogs, just the dangerous ones. I have had many dogs over my life and loved them all, but none were dangerous. Currently have a Chihuahua and Shitzu/Lhasa Apso mix........
