Dangerous dogs
are becoming more of a problem in parts of north St. Louis County.
It’s so bad, some people say they’re afraid to go out
for a morning jog, reports
CBS St Louis.
Resident
Carolyn Immer says she was attack and now has a hole in her leg.
“I
felt like I was out in the middle of nowhere and there was nobody
around to help,” Immer says. “I was screaming for a
long time – it seemed like a long time lets put it that way.
Another resident
Faye Turner says she and her sister-in-law have had several encounters
with loose dogs.
“We
actually went behind someone’s house, that we don’t
know, trying to get away from the animal, but they continued to
follow us,” Turner says. “We called my husband and he
picked us up, that’s the way we were able to get away.”
Turner says
they don’t go walking anymore.
Another
woman complained that she had called County Animal Control about
a couple of pit bulls who followed her around outside, but nothing
was done.
At a town
hall meeting Thursday evening, County Animal Control recommended
people go out walking with an umbrella, a cane, or a stick.
