Pit Bulls Euthanized After Attack on Woman
Three pit bull dogs were euthanized Tuesday, as their owner complied with a judge's order the dogs be killed. The three - including a puppy - attacked a woman in Theresa in April. The owner of the dogs wanted to fight the judge's order, but didn't have the money to do so. Linda Wilcox was attacked as she was out walking. "All of a sudden, they were on top of me," Wilcox told 7 News at the time. She was knocked down, hitting her head. And she got at least one bite. "I just lay there screaming." Wilcox struggled with reporting the incident, she said, but ultimately decided she had to. "I thought this could happen to somebody else." But Mary Cook, the owner of the dogs, found the judge's order to be extreme. "Just 'cause they're 'pits,' that's given them a bad name," she said at the time. "There's little dogs out here that bite worse than they could." She also said her dogs had never before attacked anyone, and thought her animals should get a second chance. But Tuesday, the judge's deadline, she took them to a veterinarian who euthanized them. |
