Lufkin, TX (US)

Incident Date: Thursday, Mar 9, 2006
County: Angelina

Disposition: Not Charged

Abuser names unreleased

On March 9, authorities responded to a Lufkin house fire where they found four malnourished pit bulls. "They looked like they had gone a while without food and could have been possibly fought at some time, we were told", says Animal Control Officer Jeff Day.

The woman who started the fire, told authorities the pit bulls belonged to her husband. She also admitted the dogs were being neglected and abused.

Animal Control Officers took the mild mannered pit bulls from the home. Folks at Animal Control wouldn't comment on what happened to the four pit bulls.

No charges were filed against the owner because the pits bull were turned over to animal control willingly.
