Dogs of Peace and Mercy Strike Again




SoCal woman mauled to death by pit bulls

Posted 18h 39m ago

BARSTOW, Calif. (AP) — A packed of pit bulls surrounded a woman and mauled her to death, authorities said Wednesday.

Police found Kelly Caldwell, 45, lying in the street around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday, and was taken to a hospital, where she later died, the San Bernardino County sheriff's department said.

After the mauling, the dogs ran to a nearby house. Deputies shot one dog to death when it returned to the scene and acted aggressively as paramedics were trying to save Caldwell's life, authorities said.

A second dog was shot to death Wednesday morning when it too returned. Deputies said it became aggressive as an animal control officer was trying to capture it.

Authorities said at least one dog belonged to a neighbor. No arrests were immediately made.

a "packed" of pitbulls?
may i leave you a couple of websites, the first one may be of particular interest to you:
http://www.pitbullsontheweb.com
-->check out the "find the pitbull" quiz. it's most likely none of those dogs were what the authorities saw, and besides, "pit bull" isn't even a breed. it's a term for many breeds that, most of the time, are not pure. but if it looks like a pitbull, kill a bunch of dogs that look like it, huh? and no one cares when a pomeranian or a poodle bites a baby's head off. just when the "pit bulls" do it. whatever. bull terriers, american pitbull terriers, boxers, bull dogs, rhodesian ridgbacks, etc, are all AMAZING dogs, as long as they aren't owned by bad people. of course there are bad apples, but you'll find that in ANY breed. anything abused or not trained properly can grow up to be a killer, including a child.
