Betty Ann Williams mauled in an alley after three pit bulls escaped fenced and gated backyard

A man has been fined and prohibited from owning a pet for 15 years after his dogs attacked and killed an 86-year-old neighbour in Calgary.

Bagaric earlier pleaded guilty to two city bylaw charges: an animal attacking a person causing severe injury and animals running at large. The judge pointed to testimony from neighbour Nicola Opsal, who went to investigate when she heard dogs growling in the alley. “I have no information on how the dogs escaped the backyard. I have no information as to how the dogs would normally be secured. These are clearly powerful animals that need to be under control at all times,” the judge said.“To take no steps to euthanize all three immediately is irresponsible. put his own wishes over the safety of the community,” Wong said.“Defence counsel suggests the accused is a responsible pet owner. I disagree with that characterization,” Wong said.
