Dogs that attacked girl killed
Four American bulldogs that attacked a 7-year-old girl onSaturday have been put down at the Flathead County AnimalShelter.
The girl, who sustained extensive injuries, was listed in stablecondition Wednesday after having been moved from the intensive careunit to the pediatric unit at Kalispell Regional MedicalCenter.
She was attacked while playing outside a house near Riverside Roadin Creston, where she and her dad were visiting friends.
Approval to kill the animals was received Tuesday, and FlatheadCounty Animal Shelter Director Cliff Bennett confirmed they wereput down Wednesday morning.
He stated the euthanasia of animals involved in attacks againstpeople is pretty rare in the valley.
“We don’t do a lot of euthanasias here even on our own animals,”Bennett said.
“We’re a low-kill facility with about a 95 percent live releaserate, so it’s rare. And to put four down at once is once in a bluemoon.”
Although he was not familiar with all the details of the case, hesaid he had spoken with a veterinarian who had seen the four dogsin another state.
“She stated she has dogs that are related to them that are just nice,mellow, easy-to-be-around dogs, but there was one particular oneshe did find frightening,” Bennett said.
He also commented on general dog behavior, in particular the packmentality that can take over with a lot of breeds.
“Sometimes you get a group of dogs where when one goes off they alljoin in,” Bennett said. “Imagine a frightened tiny girl maybetakes off running, that’s a trigger, and all of a sudden it’s afree-for-all. They become wild, vicious animals.”
Flathead County Sheriff Chuck Curry stated his office finished itsinvestigation and turned the case over to County Attorney EdCorrigan for possible charges against the owner of the dogs.
