Man shoots and kills dog
By KVAL Web Staff
EUGENE, Ore. - A man who shot and killed a vicious dog on a neighborhood street will not face charges because he acted in self-defense.
Neighbors say the man followed in a car after seeing two dogs, a pit bull and a doberman, stalking the neighborhood and attack a cat. He got out of the car when he saw the dogs attack another cat. The pit bull turned on the man, at which point he fired two shots and killed the dog. The cat was taken to a veterinarian, but its injuries were too severe and had to be put down. An animal countrol officer from Lane County Animal Services responded to the scene, said Tom Howard, LCAS supervisor. The Lane County Sheriff's Office handled the call. Both dogs were licensed. The owner of the second dog came and took his dog when contacted by LCAS, Howard said. |
