Forrest City, AR - Sunday May 30th approx 10:00 p.m., Forrest City Area Humane Society (a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with an all volunteer staff) said one of its volunteers checked in on the dogs at the city shelter, run by Forrest City Animal Control, to ensure the dogs had been safely put away for the night by the AC Officers on-duty. To her horror, the volunteer discovered several of the dogs were brutally fighting each other outside. The scene was a blood bath, with several dogs lying on the ground injured, unable to move, and worse, one poor, gentle dog BOZO a Labrador ..was being dragged around by several other dogs. Blood was everywhere: walls, fence and gate, even dog houses were smeared in blood where some of dogs had tried to escape the violence. 14 dogs in total had been left together outside in one area ,9 females (2 of which were in heat) and 5 males. WHY????
FCAHumane asserts the dogs, who had been left outside (since 12 noon) unsupervised in 91 degree heat, had virtually no water in their drinking bowl. The fighting had become so severe that a passerby even fired his gun into the air in an attempt to stop the slaughter when he heard the terrified yelps for help some of the dogs were making.
3 of the 6 injured dogs are shown in the video below: Harris, whose eye was profusely swollen and sustained gashes all over his body; Shorty, whose entire body, including his face, was covered in deep cuts and blood; and gentle Bozo the Lab. The serious nature of Bozo's injuries is immediately apparent. His left hind leg was pulverized, his ear, barely recognizable, it had been mutilated so badly. In short, Bozo had over 100 deep puncture wounds and went into shock...causing his death.
According to FCAHumane, no vet was available because of the holiday.
While the Humane Society members worked throughout the night trying to save the lives of the dogs whose bodies had been ripped apart, the Animal Control employees allegedly stood outside laughing and smoking.
