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.
