Dog Pack Fatally Mauls 32 Goats; Owner Sought

Loose Dog Pack Kills 32 Goats
El Centro, CA - Authorities have captured two dogs suspected of fatally mauling 32 goats kept inside of a fence. Owner Elias Maravilla found the dogs Sunday morning in his herd of 49 goats. The surviving goats were so severely bitten they had to be put down. A 15-day-old steer, however, managed to escape injury.

A male pit bull and a female German shepherd mix were caught by an animal control officer and will likely be euthanized unless an owner is found. The dogs were not wearing collars. A third dog, also a German shepherd mix, escaped. Authorities are looking for it now.

32 goats! OMG!

How extended of an attack was it that 32 goats were killed? At least an hour? What in the heck? Keep track of this story. Or someone post another story like it. I've never heard of such a thing.

It's called nature.

no, it's called domestication.

i saw a nature program a few weeks ago about 2 female lions. they were encroaching near a village. a camera crew caught them slaughtering a small herd of donkeys. a lioness took down a donkey, the other donkeys didn't flee, they just ran in circles in a panic. the lioness killed a donkey and then went onto another and another...
it was horrifying to watch.

this is a comparison between the goats and the donkeys, not dogs and lions.

It's still within the realm of nature/evolution.
