Amy was a cat belonged to lady ( Christine ) across street. Yesterday
three dogs got loose ( owners at work ) caught Amy Killed her in front
of Christine. Christine takes n all animals . These dogs belong to
people next to me & they cannot or will not keep them up. Christine
was afraid to say anything to them about Amy, so my wife went there last
night about 9 p m told them what dogs had done. I have on numerous
occasions had to catch them because they were loose. So we told
neighbors ( who , speak little english etc. ) we were calling dog pound
if they got out again. I am getting owner of property name for Christine
because I think he can be held responsible for tenants actions, don't
know but will try.

Dear Mike, I don't know what country or state you live in and where this
tragic and sad incident happened but there are laws and regulations that
cover such happenings. Our most dear and kind Mr. Pumpkin was kiled by two
pit bill dogs in January. Please register this event with your local animal
contol administration office. If it is a first offence for the dogs,
depending on the regulations, a warning may be issued, if it is a second or
third offence then the officials are required to act. Don't wait until they
get out again; they may have gotten out previously!
Charleen,
in memory of an angel cat named Mr. Pumpkin

And while some people might hesitate to act for fear of possibly causing
the dogs to be put down, think of this: next time it might not be a cat,
it might be a child. While I detest children in general, I wouldn't want
to think of one being killed by dogs.

Local animal control or your police department's animal division, also the
SPCA in many areas has an animal-welfare endorsement team. Our local chapter
has a department which goes out to investigate incidents like this one, and
they work with the local law enforcement to put a stop to such things and
gain restitution from those responsible. In my area, landlords or homeowners
are responsible by law; a recent occurrence had a woman well-punished when
her pit-bulls got off her property and mauled a child.
Again, praying for your poor friend, and you too Mike for standing up to help
her fight.
Blessed be,
Baha

She'll rest in peace now, poor thing, knowing your friend tried to do right
by her and loved her. And Christine will rest well knowing you are in there
pulling for her. Purrs for you both.
Blessed be,
Baha

report it to the police also
Depending on where you are and what type of dogs they are. The owners might
be in violation of the dangerous dog act that many cities and states in the
US are beginning to adopt.
Yesterday local in my neck of the woods 2 pit-bulls attacked a woman
walking on the street

I'm in Tennessee and trust me, Animal Control will take care of those dogs
that get loose constantly. Animals that are unsupervised and not on
leashes. Place a phone call. NOW. You don't have to be the owner of the
pet who was killed.

I'm very sorry! Christine must be heartbroken. This one hits close to
home, because something very much like this almost happened to Smudge a
couple of years ago.
As far as I know, there are leash laws everywhere in the USA, so loose
dogs are illegal to begin with. Dogs that kill small animals might be
considered a danger to humans - at least to small humans such as children,
as Dan pointed out.
Are you reluctant to call Animal Control? I don't know if the dogs
would be put down after something like this. But the people might be
fined and warned, and then they might be more motivated to keep their
dogs restrained.
Purrs for Amy and Christine.

Oh, that is a horrible story. Poor Christine must be very, very upset
over the cruel way Amy was taken from her.
I'm glad you are following up on it. If you reach a sympathetic ear in
the animal control admin., perhaps they will take the action that is
clearly warranted.
The people who own the three dogs are just as guilty of killing poor Amy
as if they had done it themselves, and I hope the law takes action.
Purrs on the way for Amy's trip to the Bridge, and for Christine's
grieving heart.
