Mom mauled to d3ath by pack of dogs

A mother from Northern California was mauled to d3ath by dogs on a walking trail where a pack of 25 Great Danes was running loose, police said.

The badly bitten body of Davina Corbin, 56, was discovered by a neighbour on the street just before 2 a.m. Thursday morning last week, the Butte County Sheriff’s Office said.

Corbin’s body had “numerous bite marks and injuries” and her clothing was covered in DNA matching domestic dogs. A medical examiner determined her cause of death was a domestic dog attack, according to the office.

She was found in front of a home on the trail where 25 Great Dane dogs were roaming around free, the police said.

Police obtained a search warrant and “spent the entire day capturing” the loose dogs who were placed in the custody of Butte County Animal Control.

The DNA of the animals will be compared to the DNA collected on Corbin’s clothing and body to determine which dog or dogs attacked her, the sheriff’s office said.

Corbin’s neighbours called her untimely death a tragedy that was 100% preventable.

Max Heckler, said he and other neighbors have reported the dogs to Butte County Animal Control on multiple occasions.

“Nothing’s been done about it until now,” he told local station KCRA. “Wait until somebody gets killed by those dogs. That’s a tragedy that should have never, ever have happened, ever.”

He said he narrowly escaped the large dogs once.

“The Great Danes, they come across the road here at me,” Heckler said. “I jumped in the car and left.”

 

“What I’m saying is animal control is just as much at fault about that death as them dogs. They didn’t do anything about any of this,” he told the news station.

 

“That is what I’m mad about. That lady should have never died.”
