Here is a video report on a pack of wild dogs killing an elderly couple in Georgia. Apparently, the elderly woman, Sherry Schweder, took a walk on the country road near their home and was attacked by a pack of wild dogs. When her elderly husband came looking for her when she did not return, he too was attacked by the dogs. Their bodies has multiple wounds consistent with an attack by animals. The couple had both been employed at the University of Georgia - Mr. Schweder for many years as a German Professor, and Mrs. Schweder at the library. . . . . (Watch Video)

We had a wild dog problem one summer on the farm in about ‘87. Didn’t go anywhere without a rifle. That approach ended up solving the problem as well. Wild dogs are a far, far bigger problem than coyotes.

In the 1940s, a man was elected mayor of an Indiana town on the single platform issue of him personally shooting the dangerous pack dogs in the area. He won, overwhelmingly, and was perhaps the only politician, before or since, to have kept his campaign promises.

The townspeople were so relieved to be rid of the pack dogs, that they wrote him in on the ballots in the next election to be the town judge and police chief over the two man police department as well.

You are correct, because they don’t stop killing when their bellies are full.

They're a major problem in our neck of the woods, and getting worse. Too many folks giving up their “pets” by simply releasing them in rural areas. One pack passed through my property the other morning. 6-8 dogs about 60 lbs. each. Looked to be a mix of foxhound and pitbull. Filthy and starving. Nobody around here goes for a walk unless armed with heavy staff, bear mace, and/or sidearm. Seems like not a day goes by without seeing some poor starved and half dead pitbul staggering along the side of the road. It breaks the heart, but you don't dare stop and pick it up. No collar/tags could also mean no vaccination against rabies.

We bought a place in the country last year - Northwest Alabama. Haven’t seen any dog packs or wild strays yet. I suspect that our neighbors are staying on top of the problem. That said, I don’t take any chances and carry as often as possible.

I live just a few miles from this incident. Our local news just announced that the coroner said that up to 14 dogs attacked this couple and that the dogs were mixed breeds and aggressive. I walk on the rural roads around our country home and also carry even on a walk around our street. Never know what animals—2-legged AND 4-legged—you might run into.

"The dogs were being held by animal control officials while authorities decide what to do with them, said Jim Fullington, special agent for the Georgia Bureau of Investigation."

WTF is wrong with people? What is there to decide?
