Upstate New York woman mauled to death by her own dogs

Dogs scare me sometimes.
. You just never know what they are thinking.

She succumbed at the scene. Not yet stinking. Those aren't dogs known for viciousness. Maybe they were drugged.

Or maybe there isn’t some kind of conspiracy and the dogs went bonkers. Or maybe she was beating one of them and they responded as they would in a pack. They obviously didn’t consider themselves as lower members of the pack.

We'll never know exactly what happened, but I remember someone here saying -- just a few weeks ago -- that it was always pits when the attacks ended in death.

It is overwhelmingly pits but not always. I believe rots are second.

Often I get the feeling that my cats want to maul me to death. Then I laugh at them.

Dogs don't kill people who they love. They clearly didn't like her - perhaps she was abusive with them and they decided they weren't going to take it anymore. My husband and I could have put our hands in the mouths of our dogs while they were attacking prey and they wouldn't bite us. In fact, that's how we have saved a number of cats and raccoons from certain doom.

What did you feed them, live animals? Make them chase their dinner?

She's from the same county that I live in; it's rural and a lot of hunting takes place throughout the county. Those dogs are normally very placid creatures when not hunting; I'm sure the state police are looking at it from different angles.

Double their size to sat 20 lbs. and the it would be nervous laughter. LOL Cats have a quickness that doesn't seem to belong in our world.

I didn't think coon hounds had that much mass in their ass.

I have a spiral staircase in my place. Sometimes my younger cat will be on the bottom level, start growling like a demon, and then run extremely fast to the stairs and then climbs them from the underside up to the top. He goes so fast I never have actually seen him get from under the stairs to get upstairs. I usually just hear the growl, him running, then clawing his way up the carpeted stairs, and it is over before I can react.
