According to someone who lives in the area: "No, they are not victims of dog fighting, they are victims of an irresponsible owner who allowed her dogs to leave her property time after time which led to the dogs attacking and killing the neighbors' family dogs over a 3 month period. She did nothing to stop it, even after knowing what they were doing. The law was called every time and the people were told they couldn't help them, they would have to handle it themselves. ... If the owner had just kept her pit bulls confined, none of this would've happened. We also need much better laws on nuisance animals in rural areas so that people don't have to go through this."
Don't want us to defend our children and pets as we so choose, then keep your gipping mauler confined and away from us.
