The incident went down in Putnam County. Now, angry folks shout out for a full investigation and prosecution of the owners.

Killer Dogs Seem Like A Horror Movie

Cute stories and feel-good news about pups often melt the hearts of animal lovers.  However much people try and humanize the animals though, they are not all cuddly and affectionate.

Owners come under scrutiny because dogs often live in well-populated neighborhoods.

Or, in the Miami Dade area, regular posts come that advise people about pet health. But, when the bad news about the postal worker emerged, nobody felt good. In fact, they hope that the owners of the rogue canines serve a long time I’m prison. Then, the fact that a number of dogs will probably be euthanized raised the ire of more people who slammed the owners.

This is horrific, the dog owners must be held accountable.

Any animal owner who has pets who kill, should face manslaughter charges, period. Your animal, your responsibility. No one deserves to die over pet negligence and die in such a horrible way.

ruly devastating. My condolences to the family. The owner should be held accountable.

This is a horrifying way to die. I feel so bad for her. Those dogs were a danger to people and there is no way the owners didn’t know that. Why does anyone have five f’n dogs anyway.

There were so many ways this could’ve been prevented. They ought to charge the owners with manslaughter.”
