Teen girl killed by pack of dogs while feeding malnourished dogs in Arkansas
A 15-year-old girl was killed in Saline County, Arkansas, when a pack of dogs attacked her while she was feeding them on Wednesday. Emergency responders arrived shortly after noon but found her dead. Neighbors had warned county officials about the dogs multiple times, citing their malnourishment and the growing number of dogs, estimated at 30 to 40. This incident highlights significant gaps in animal control and public safety protocols. Local residents are now advocating for stricter measures to manage feral or malnourished dog populations.
Animal welfare advocates emphasize the importance of addressing such issues to prevent future tragedies. The girl's death may prompt a review of local animal control policies and enforcement practices. Community members are seeking accountability and change to ensure the safety of residents and animals alike.
