City of San Angelo records indicate the following occurred:
September 18, 2024: This morning around 8:00 am , an employee of The Lighthouse for the Blind was attacked by three dogs on N. Malone behind the Lighthouse building.
It was a brutal attack and the victim is currently at the Emergency Room, blood everywhere, tore up his arm and face. This was disturbing, but the police officer could not get animal control to respond to capture the animals. When asked when the animal control would show up the officer could not give a time of arrival and so he went to the ER to get a statement from the victim. In my opinion, an attack would warrant an immediate response to capture the animals. We are now keeping our employees in the building.
Those came records indicate the city's response:
Citation: Date/Time: 09/18/2024 12:34PM
The owner of the dogs was given 2 spay or neuter citations and 1 dog at large along with a 24 hour quarantine notice for both dogs for the attack they were both involved in sending the victim to ER for his injuries.
ASO’s responded immediately and all three dogs were impounded – the two that bit and a third unrelated.
That's not in line with the report from the police officer responding to the dog pack attack. "Responded immediately" is not the same as "could not get Animal Control to respond to capture the animals" or "could not give a time" Animal Control would show up.
The attack happened around 8:00 am, the Animal Control Officer report is at 12:34 pm and Morgan's e-mail to Councilman Thomas was around 5:15 pm.
City Council has Public Safety as a top priority. It's hard to believe that in the dangerous loose pet arena.
