Pitbulls, which are involved in the NYC -MAULING incident, killed another pet dog, Ms. claims

There is more outrage afterwards A small dog was called by Pitbulls on the Upper West Side.

The shocking attack was caught on video on Saturday evening in the 85th Street and the Columbus Avenue.

The owner of the Chihuahua mix that was exaggerated demands legal steps When another woman claims that the same Pitbulls previously killed their pet Shih-Ztu.

Penny, a Chihuahua mix that survived the attack on Saturday, is slowly recovering.

Penny's owner Lauren Claus is clear what she wants to see now.

“To get the dogs off the street and to hold the owners into account,” said Claus.

Dogs involved in the making can be associated with another incident

In a packaged room on the Upper West Side on Wednesday evening, many dog ​​owners talked about their deep concerns and said that the two Pitbulls involved in Penny's attack were a constant problem.

Graphical video shows two Pitbulls that have a 17-year-old Shih Tzu mix called Grover in Central Park in January. Grover was killed in the attack. Grovers owner, who did not want to be identified, said her dog had been entered by the same Pitbulls that Penny attacked.

“Grover was completely blind and defenseless. I screamed that he was dead,” she said.

Grovers traumatized owner said their efforts to get justice failed.

“So far I am not optimistic that something will happen,” she said. “Nobody can lead me what to do tomorrow.”

“We have to change this law”

The police say that they cannot examine the attack, because according to New York law, pets are considered property.

“This is ridiculous. Children are not their property, they are their family. Dogs are their family,” said Charles Candreva, dog owner of Upper West Side.

City council member Gale Brewer is urging a dog-on-dog attack to make a crime.

“Why can a dog attack another dog and nothing is done?” Said Brewer. “We have to change this law.”

Claus previously said she said that her options are currently to sue the owners of the other dogs before the civil court and try to make the attacking dogs dangerous and removed.

“The NYPD has to create a report on dog-on-dog attacks. In this way we can take on this report and submit civilian if we need it,” said Claus.

The district prosecutor has to investigate Penny's case, said Brewer. She also said that the police were in contact with the owner of the Pitbulls, but couldn't do anything.
