Dangerous dogs are becoming more of a problem in parts of north St. Louis County. It’s so bad, some people say they’re afraid to go out for a morning jog, reports CBS St Louis.

CBS St Louis continues:


Resident Carolyn Immer says she was attack and now has a hole in her leg.

“I felt like I was out in the middle of nowhere and there was nobody around to help,” Immer says. “I was screaming for a long time – it seemed like a long time lets put it that way.

Another resident Faye Turner says she and her sister-in-law have had several encounters with loose dogs.

“We actually went behind someone’s house, that we don’t know, trying to get away from the animal, but they continued to follow us,” Turner says. “We called my husband and he picked us up, that’s the way we were able to get away.”

Turner says they don’t go walking anymore.

Another woman complained that she had called County Animal Control about a couple of pit bulls who followed her around outside, but nothing was done.

At a town hall meeting Thursday evening, County Animal Control recommended people go out walking with an umbrella, a cane, or a stick.

I had to laugh at that last part.

They don't care about wild dogs harassing people, they only care about the ones trying to protect them.

Ding, ding, ding! Exactly.

There is no one in the "stray or wild dogs" scenario over whom to assert domineering, chest-puffing authority.

They don't give a damn unless the opportunity to bully mundanes is involved ...

Haha! It reminds me of the one article that recommended defending yourself against an armed intruder with scissors or a stapler. SMH :toady:

Yep, that and they don't like competition for a job they so obviously fail at. Wild dogs pose less of a threat........

Only they are allowed to "protect" us.

This feels a little like Agenda 21 to me. Kill the domestic, and let the wild run rampant.

Houston woman in critical condition after pack of 15 dogs attack
http://www.wfaa.com/news/texas-news/Houston-woman-in-critical-condition-after-pack-of-15-dogs-attack.html


HOUSTON -- A 52-year-old Houston woman was in critical condition after a vicious mauling by a pack of at least 15 stray dogs.

It happened around 6 a.m. on Monday near Lyons and Eastex Freeway in the Fifth Ward.

According to family members, Maria Arcos was walking to a nearby bus stop. She was on her way to start her first day on a new job as a housekeeper.

Arcos only made it about halfway.

She was under an overpass when a pack of mixed-breed strays surrounded her and brought her to the ground.

“It’s a pack mentality. That can happen when there’s an aggressive act by one and it continues,” said City of Houston Animal Control Manager Chris Glaser.

Glaser said a railroad employee saw Arcos being terrorized and dialed for help.

“With that many dogs on her, she was being drug up and down the street,” Glaser said.
[...]
According to Reyes, Arcos has severe wounds covering most of her body.

“[They bit] her arms, her legs, her neck -- they cover her,” Reyes said. “They was eating her. The dogs was eating her to the bone.”

Animal control officers later found the pack responsible living under a nearby mortuary.

Officers blocked the dogs underneath the building and attempted to lure the dogs into a single trap. So far, officers have captured five of the dogs from under the business.

Two of them appear to be only about four months old.

“Most of the time, you won’t have them acting out in an aggressive manner like this. Usually you’ll have one or two, but an attack like this is very rare,” Glaser said.

That's not what we hear from so many cops about dogs they were "forced to shoot" for officer safety. It looks to me like they consider wild dogs running in packs less dangerous than family pets hanging out in their back yards.

Those "wild" dogs are helping the cops by attacking potential drug users...

Wild dogs will not comply.

Officer Safety can not be ensured.

Naked man loses hands and feet after he was mauled by 12 DOGS that escaped from house in Detroit
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2780062/Naked-man-loses-hands-feet-mauled-12-DOGS-escaped-house-Detroit.html

Man, believed to be in his 40s, attacked by 12 pit bulls in eastern Detroit
Paramedics found him lying naked in a yard surrounded by the animals
Police fired at dogs, killing one of them; rest were lured back into house
Victim, who lost both hands and feet, is in 'critical condition' in hospital
It remains unclear what man was doing on property or why he was nude


http://detroit.cbslocal.com/2014/10/03/police-man-loses-hands-feet-in-detroit-dog-attack/

Paramedics found him lying naked in a yard in a 'critical' condition, but were unable to get out and help him until police came.

After arriving at the scene, Detroit Police officers fired at the dogs, killing one of them, Sargent Michael Woody told WWJ Newsradio 950.

They were then able to lure the remaining 11 animals inside the house between East Warren and Mach avenues, before locking them inside. The dogs are now in the custody of Animal Control.

'When we found the victim he was lying in a yard, completely naked, being attacked by several pit bulls... and our officers had to try to corral the pit bulls.' said Sgt Woody.

Some are saying he's since died.

I guess the thing to do is when the police storm the house is yell, "That's not a pet! It's a stray!"

He's still alive. Evidently it wouldn't have happened if the "first responders" had more money.

“There aren’t enough Detroit police, there aren’t enough rescues out there, there aren’t enough Animal Control,” Rinaldi said. “From what I’ve heard, neighbors had called on this house several times, but — in the course of the day with everything that goes on in Detroit, how short-handed everybody is — there just aren’t enough people to get out until something like this happens.”

Uh huh, sure...I will carry the Penguin's umbrella:


The Penguin's umbrella is never a normal umbrella, and has built-in weaponry such as guns, missiles, laser guns, flame-throwers, and acid spraying devices. He usually carries an umbrella with the function to transform its top into a series of spinning blades. This could be used as a mini helicopter or as an offensive weapon.

They didn't put down dog killer and baby mauler Mickey the pitbull (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/03/12/pit-bull-mauls-boy-viral/6326183/). I would have shot that dog as soon I got got it off the child.

Not only did they not kill it, evil devil Arpaio himself saved it! And today Arpario introduced the Mickey Cam (http://www.abc15.com/news/region-phoenix-metro/central-phoenix/jailed-pit-bull-mickey-to-get-his-own-webcam).

I feel so bad for that poor family. It must just break their hearts that the public, the media, and the authorities are so insensitive to their tragedy, and the dog that destroyed Kevin's face gets all the attention and support. If you want to help take the sting out of Arpaio's latest slap: https://maricopahealthfoundation.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=14

Smart dogs.

http://www.11alive.com/story/news/local/buckhead/2015/09/24/flock-sheep-attacked-atlanta-neighborhood-wild-dogs/72774198/

A lot of questions being asked here – were the sheep protected enough? Why couldn’t Animal Services do more that day instead of simply setting traps? Most residents simply want to figure out where these dogs came from and how to make sure they don’t come back.

Dallas cops kill plenty of nice family dogs though.


The 'slant' on this story is a failure, stray dogs aren't societies problem and they're not a kop issue.

Politicians 'studying' the problem and creating reports and statistics before calling in a different batch of tax-ticks is insanity at its finest.

.22 rounds are less than a nickle and every member of that community would benefit from the practice.

Assign the politicians real jobs of picking up the carcasses and disposing of them or strip them of both office and pay...


From Drudge;




Dallas has a stray dog problem — about 9,000 of them. And some killed a woman

http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-stray-dogs-20160915-snap-story.html

A deep growl came from the other side of Shaniqua Roland’s front door.

She was pregnant at the time and headed to a doctor’s appointment, but she knew she couldn’t leave the house. Not with the dogs back.

For half an hour, as she tried to shoo them away, a pack of pit bulls snarled and snapped at her metal door. She thought of her sister, who’d recently lost a chunk of her calf in a dog attack. She’d see her doctor another day.

“It’s crazy,” Roland said, sighing. “I don’t walk outside anymore. No way.”

Across the low-income, predominantly black and Latino neighborhoods of southern Dallas, so many stray, sometimes vicious dogs roam the streets that many residents have given up on going outside without a bat or pipe for protection. Some carry pepper spray, others ride in golf carts to outpace the canine cliques.

It’s been a problem for years, Roland said. The daughter she was pregnant with when trapped in her home is now 2.

But a tipping point came in May, when at least four dogs fatally attacked Antoinette Brown, 52, in an overgrown lot just across the street from Roland’s home. The mauling was so vicious — fang marks dotted her body and a chunk of her bicep was missing — that a police officer compared it to a shark attack.

After that, Dallas officials hired a consulting firm, which released a report this summer estimating that nearly 9,000 loose dogs live south of Interstate 30 — the separation line in the largely segregated city.

Consultants drove around the city several days this summer and spotted strays of all sizes and breeds in southern Dallas. A few pit bulls, but also a small, fluffy gray dog and a sleek black one with white paws.

Councilman Casey Thomas, who grew up in and represents a swath of southern Dallas, said the area has been “plagued” by loose dogs for as long as he can remember.

“It’s a huuuge problem,” he said, stretching the vowel for emphasis. “People walking with sticks and golf clubs? That’s a quality-of-life issue.”

The problem is almost entirely in southern Dallas, a situation Thomas attributes to lower spay-and-neutering rates as well as a shortage of veterinary clinics in the poorer neighborhoods. Residents say some of the dogs get left behind after people are evicted, with others dumped into the neighborhood by people from other parts of town.

Since Brown’s death, Thomas said, Dallas Animal Services has rounded up strays and increased patrols in problem areas. The city also assigned a deputy police chief to tackle the problem.

During a news conference a few days after five Dallas policemen were fatally shot at a protest in July, Police Chief David Brown cited the loose-dog problem as one of many “societal failures” that cops are now being asked to solve.

And there’s no quick fix.

Essicka Wilson, 40, said heard a desperate scream from outside her red-brick home in southern Dallas in July.

“Stooooooop!” she heard a woman shout. “Get away!”

Another attack. This time the woman survived.

A few days after the mauling, the family of the woman who was bitten dozens of times told Dallas television station WFAA that she had been released from the hospital and would recover.

People shouldn’t have to live like this, Wilson said, adding that she shouldn’t have to worry about her kids playing in the frontyard or about what might happen to her Chihuahua named Abraham — Ham, for short — if other dogs sneak into her yard.

She said she has had nightmares about a pack of dogs descending on her as she walks to the car. In her dream, she tries to sprint but her rheumatoid arthritis hobbles her. The dogs catch her.

“Dogs didn’t used to be like that,” she said, shaking her head. “So vicious.”

But Rekka Melby of the Street Dog Project, a Dallas nonprofit group focused on rescuing animals from a neighborhood in southern Dallas, said it’s “extremely rare” to find a ferocious dog on the streets. That certainly hasn’t been true, she said, of any of the 45 dogs rescued since the group started in March, describing the canines instead as a bit skittish and eager for consistency.

“They just need to get in a home and they’re fine,” she said.

The group focuses on spending time in the neighborhood, talking to people about spay-and-neutering surgeries and helping with small tasks such as patching holes in fences dogs might use to escape.

“We’re looking for people in the neighborhood who want to help the animals, and then they can pay it forward,” Melby said.

Back at Roland’s house, she had just gotten off the phone with city officials on a recent morning — the third time in as many days. She wanted Dallas Animal Services to know she had spotted more dogs.

Sometimes, in the quiet moments when no dogs are around, Roland sits on her porch staring across the street at the nearby abandoned lot. There, tucked between a small white cross and orange tulips made of cloth, is a note to Antoinette Brown from her daughter.

“I really don’t understand why this had to happen to my mom,” it reads. “I just hope you’re in heaven watching down on us. … Happy Birthday, Mom.”

I betting that most of the "pit bulls" are not pits. My shar pei was always called a pit by people who don't know much.
