Cousin Dee Dee just sent a mass e-mail saying her beloved dog Casey, who I've known since they brought him home, was viciously murdered yesterday when she was walking him near her mom's house in Bel-Air or Brentwood, can't remember which. A dog came out of nowhere, Dee Dee quickly snatched Casey in her arms but the dog leapt and grabbed Casey and then proceeded to maul Casey while Dee Dee screamed and frantically tried to get the dog off Casey. She finally got Casey away, immediately drove her to the nearby vet but it was too late. She found the house and owner of the dog - they didn't seem to care and apparently it's not the first time this has happened. She reported it to Animal Care who said they'd "investigate." The police don't give a crap, although if it had been a human that had been attacked they sure as hell would give a crap. The owner of that dog needs to have that dog put down now before it happens again. And if that dog weren't on a leash, well, then the owner should have some responsibility here. I've a good mind to find out the address and go over there myself, but what can you do with wealthy, entitled pieces of dung? I cannot imagine Animal Care not taking action but apparently they don't. If anyone here has had any experience with this kind of thing, let me know if there's a better course of action to take and I'll pass it along.
