Pit
bulls shot by deputy during attack on farm animals
web
posted October 26, 2007
TRENTON – An Edgefield Sheriff’s Deputy
has been forced to shoot dogs again, this time in Trenton. Deputies
responded to a call from a Courtney Road resident saying that dogs had
entered a pen with several pigs and one had already been killed by the
pit bulls.
As deputies arrived the dogs began attacking another one of the hogs
and one of the deputies shot the pit bulls, killing both of them. Due
to the severe injuries the dogs caused to the remaining four hogs, they
too were shot at the request of the owner. In all five hogs were lost
in the attack.
The two pit bulls did not have any tags or identification as to the
owner. It is unknown how the dogs got into the hog pen, which was
fenced.
The case is currently under investigation and the owner, or owners, are
being sought. The value of the livestock lost in the attack was listed
at $1,000.
The pit bulls were described as a brindle female and a white and brown
male. If you have any information as to who may own the dogs you are
asked to call the Edgefield County Sheriff’s Office at 803-637-5337.
