Don’t they have to put the dog down on this type of situation?

This isn’t a case of her not seeking treatment and that dog needs to be found and unfortunately put down, they need to check all other animals and make sure it’s not something that could spread just in case.

Been at least a couple of weeks since seeing this type of story. I wonder if it’s a breed that will soon be on the list.

You walk for hours in London to find kids playground and still, but woof water😲 oh yeah , of couuuuurse! C’mon you can’t hurt dog’s feeling. Taking a seat in coffee shop? Watch out for the next pitbull. Behind each table you have a plate with half litte of water for the next dog that gonna behave well. This means not only we can’t find a playground but also we can’t take a seat in a coffee shop anymore when with kids. Too much of dog culture in this country. We need more rules for dangerous dogs, and not just XL are dangerous.

Court coordinator Andy Flack said Ms Hempstead was taken to Southend Hospital for treatment after being found by police with a “laceration to her upper limb” on 29 July.
She was transferred to a hospital in east London where she died the next day.
A post-mortem examination at Basildon Hospital found Ms Hempstead suffered a dog bite wound to her left upper arm.
Mr Flack said that transection of the left axillary artery – the main artery to the arm – was also a contributory cause to her death.
Multi-organ failure and hypovolemic shock – where a severe loss of blood or other fluids prevents the heart from pumping enough blood – were also given as contributory causes.

As a postman, there are far too many cunt dog owners with cunt dogs. We get bit all the time, and funnily enough, literally getting bitten by a dog is fucking horrible. I’ve been done by a Doberman, had a German Shepherd guard dog bite me on the leg and arm when the wife of the house left it loose on the property instead of its compound, scar on my leg from a jack Russell running out and biting me when the guy opened the door without securing the dogs first. I know of a guy who had his finger de-gloved through a letterbox and the bone amputated, and a guy who had a husky jump on his back while he was at the van, take him down and rip the shit out of his back. Female postal worker a couple of years ago got done bad in Sheffield I think – life changing injuries. Fucking mental, the shit we see as far as dogs go. Hate them.

I truly think the uk needs tougher regulations on ALL dogs and owners, the amount of pure idiots I see with large dogs is terrifying, I don’t think people can comprehend the damage dogs can do, I had a jack Russell lovely little dog until it wasn’t, he had cancer (we didn’t know) and he just snapped due to pain, I imagine, he ripped my top lip apart, I was lucky that’s all it was, he was small and it was easier for him to be stopped, these large horse ass dogs not so much!

Am I reading this correctly that it was 1 of her 2 own dogs? Heartbreaking.

How did no one do anything whatsoever to staunch the bleeding *before* she got to the hospital?!?! You cannot mistake arterial spray as anything but that. Anyone should know to put pressure on a wound or a tourniquet so everyone just let her literally bleed to death??
