OK: Several Animals Killed By Pack Of Dogs
Several Animals Killed By Pack Of Dogs In Northern
Tulsa County Friday December 31, 2004 5:46pm Reporter: Nicole Burgin Posted By: Kevin King Owasso - Dog owners in northern Tulsa County are on alert after several animals have been killed and others mauled in the past few days. And, the residents feel action is not coming fast enough. They're armed with shotguns to fight off what they call a pack of wild dogs. But, we learned the likely attackers aren't that wild after all. Bill Kauffman showed us where he thinks a pack of dogs got inside his fence. "There's a hole in the fence behind this block here and we surmise they came in from here," he says. They attacked three of his dogs, killing two. "Vicious is the only thing I can describe," he says. "Because they didn't eat what they killed they just killed it for the pleasure of killing it." 'Fronz' died in the front yard. 'Tiny' was able to get to the back of the house before dying. The little rat terrier was almost decapitated, but was still alive when he came to the back door. "It's rough," says Dee Kauffman. "It's really rough to go through. You don't expect to come home and find two dogs dead and tore up so bad." It's hard for Dee to talk about. But, she's not alone. 'Brown' is still here. And, at a moment when Dee needs some loving, he's right there. But, this isn't the only family affected. The pack of dogs broke through another fence, attacking one of Jan Fisher's dogs. "I've walked to my shed with my shotgun," Fisher says. "It's been like a prison in your home." Some of the dogs attacked are recovering at a local vet. And, the dog owners think they know where the problem is coming from. An animal control officer for the county believes the pack dogs have gotten out of this fence. We spoke to the owner of the property who is not currently living here. He admits he had 21 dogs at one time. Today, we counted only eight. But, there's something else we found -- several places along the fence where the dogs have gotten out in the past. Law enforcement caught two of the dogs attacking another dog and shot them on the spot. As far as the owner of those 21 dogs, we're told he is not breaking any laws by having so many animals in the country. And, once he knew about the problem, he is cooperating. The animal control officer says there isn't any criminal action to be done. It's now a civil issue. ================================================ http://www.ktul.com/news/stories/1204/197545.html |

before you said they are not wild, i had already assumed what you have on
your hands is a pack of wild FERAL dogs. of course they are not coyotes or wolves. First try trap them, make sure its a humane trap, you may trap one of your dogs or neighbors dogs. You better darn well make sure its feral dogs that are doing the attacking and make sure you have POSITIVELY indentified them. You may need to hunt them down. I wouldnt waive the shotgun around too many times you might shoot the wrong dog. Sure the shotgun is always the cool thing in oklahoma, but everheard of shot spray? pull out the ole 22 rifle with some snakeshot, that wont even so much as skin em a bit, but will sure keep them away if they know whats good for them. shoot em right in the ass! dont hit their eyes whatever you do! You could always call the dog pound to come and pick them up and put them through the tortoureous constraining then putting to sleep, then tossing into their freezer for a few months or years, where they will eventuall be incenerated. I wouldnt do that tho. wolf wrote in message ...
