Cop shoots and kills pit bull during violent mauling

[Sqrt]

The incident occurred on Oct. 20 at approximately 4:30 p.m. in Enfield, Connecticut, when a police officer was responding to a report of a large dog attack nearby, according to the Enfield Police Department.

"The dog's owners were able to briefly stop the dog from attacking the woman by pouring hot water on it," the Enfield Police Department said in a statement released on social media. "The dog then lunged toward the woman's neck area, bit her, and began to pull her back into the front yard of the property from the sidewalk."

To avoid any further injuries to the woman, the Enfield Police Department said the officer "dispatched the dog." Police did not say whether the dog was on a leash.

This is what I come on these forums to see, hell yeah!

Yeah, can't blame them if the dog was going for the neck.

Not sure what the point of this post is? The shooting seems justified seeing as the dog was biting the women's neck.

Don't know what there is to comment about this other than the fact that this just increases the stigma towards pit bulls even more.

Seems like they made the right call to put the dog down. The woman was clearly in danger.

 

[SwitchedOff]

My first question would be - why did the dog attack the woman in the first place?
