The dogs who were put down after being implicated in the fatal mauling of a Dallas, Texas, woman have been cleared of blame following DNA testing. According to Monday’s Associated Press, the results of the DNA testing failed to produce a link between the dogs put down, and the woman who died in the May attack.
The victim, 52-year-old Antoinette Brown, died a week after a pack of dogs attacked her in a vacant lot on Rutledge Street early on May 2. A nearby resident who could hear Brown moaning and calling for help reached out to 911 dispatch – she stated that she was too scared to go outside. A second person called 9-1-1 nearly 15 minutes later to report that the woman was still being attacked by a pack of dogs – the man advised the dispatcher that the dogs were actively attacking the woman and that he was unable to get close enough to stop the mauling. Nobody was able to identify the dogs involved in the early morning attack
After the attack, and Brown’s death, seven dogs in the neighborhood, who were accused of frequently escaping from their yard, were surrendered by their owner and subsequently euthanized. The DNA testing ruled out those dogs as being part of the fatal attack. The case has now been closed.
That sucks…..7 dogs are now dead for NO REASON.
So sad.
right just close the case you murdered innocent animals and no care in the world about it, sorry the woman died but next time do your job right
100% Agree.
Why wasn’t the DNA testing done before these dogs were senselessly murdered? Their only crime was “frequently escaping” their yard! And why is the case closed? These dog’s weren’t responsible, shouldn’t someone be looking for the ones that were? This was a horrible rush to judgement!
Exactly. How are they going to attempt to make it right?
If I were the owner(s) of those dogs, I would sue the city for every single penny I could get. This goes beyond heinous.
GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT. Too late for these INNOCENT dogs.
No doubt. Make someone pay for the senseless death of innocent dogs.
Absolutely agree 100%!
So now the murderer’s just say “Whoopsie” and go on with their lives? They should have waited fir the DNA test. I wonder if the FACT that they MURDERED two innocent dogs bother them. I bet the answer is no.
Correction, SEVEN dogs.
THIS SOUNDS JUST LIKE The “NO STAR” STATE OF TEXAS!!!! “STUPID IS SO STUPID DOES!!!!!” SEVEN INNOCENT DOGS WERE More or less SACRIFICED So those MORON”S that Running the Show in DALLAS can say they KILLED some DOGS THAT MAY HAVE RUN LOOSE at ONE TIME OR ANOTHER… Although NOT the DOGS that Apparently killed the woman… WOW!!!! TEXAS The TEN GALLON hats YOU WEAR down there are BIGGER than your BRAINS!!!
Dear assholes help f****** stupid mother f****** be put down animals without doing any testing scumbags things to try to help her shame on the world
This is total bullshit! You can do DNA testing on a dog without MURDERING it! Why weren’t the dogs innocent until proven guilty?! I hope the owner of those poor 7 dogs sues the city!
The authorities are to be blamed for the senseless murder of innocent dogs. The dogs should have been held and all tests should have been confirmed before the Euthanasia
Wow. There are no words. Their carelessness is astounding!
What a stinking waste of innocent lives. Shame on those that let this happen.
