Two Pit Bulls Shot in Machesney Park Neighborhood After Mauling

MACHESNEY PARK - Winnebago County sheriff's deputies shoot and kill two pit bulls after they attack a smaller dog. It's the third time in a week police had to kill a dog.

Officers were called to 526 Huron street just before nine this morning. Natalie McLean says she looked out her window and saw her pug.. Pugsly.. being attacked by two pit bulls. "I mean it looked like hyenas attacking a bunny rabbit or something," McLean says. "She was on her back, she wasn't even touching the ground, and they both had her at opposite angles just pulling her apart. It happened so fast all I could really think was what can i hit these dogs with?"

Natalie grabbed a pool stick and threw it at the pit bulls. The dogs didn't flinch. When officers got there, one pit bull ran away. The other continued to maul Pugsly so a deputy shot it.
Sergeant Jeffrey Schroeder says the first pit bull came back and circled the officers growling like it was ready to attack. A second deputy fired his gun.

"My officers have been told that any time there's an aggressive dog in their proximity that could bite them or a citizen, if it's safe to do so, they need to dispose of the dog if that's their only option," says Schroeder.

The pit bulls' owner, David Snyder, lives four houses down from Natalie. We knocked on the door but no one answered. We also tried to find a phone number for Snyder.

Winnebago County Animal Services picked up the same dogs last month for the same thing.
Snyder is in court next week for that and could be charged for what happened today.

"Animal services' hands are completely tied," says Winnebago County Animal Services Director Gary Longanecker. "Our only recourse under law is to bring the animal here, impound it, return the animal to the owners, and maybe at a later time add charges of dangerous or vicious dog, but that takes time. We need tougher laws."

With the shootings this past week, Longanecker says he doesn't think it's that animals have become more aggressive recently, but that the animal population has grown, and more animals means more incidents.

Pugsly passed away last night around nine.

Aww, look at that smiler!

My stepbrother's pit is also named Nikko! Here he is, pouting for the camera:





It's so awful what happened to that pug. Such a shame that the owner allowed it outside without supervision. Between vehicles and bigger dogs, it was just a matter of time.

Here's another one of ole Catfish head...
