She was badly mauled, she spent five days in the hospital and has horrible disfiguring scars all over her body. There wasn't even enough flesh and skin left in several places to sew her up.

She got $75,000. 60% of that is coming from the trailer park owners and 40% from the pit bull owner. She'll never see the 40%, the pit bull owner doesn't have a dime to her name and has never worked.

The reason the trailer park had to pay is because they had served the woman several eviction notices over the years for various incidences with various pitbulls. The woman would send the dog away temporarily until the eviction notice was lifted, and then bring them back. They were able to prove that the management was aware that there were aggressive dogs there and they never followed through on the eviction. They were negligent also.

The owner was a breeder by the way. And every dog she had (all the same blood line) had a history of being aggressive. It was actually the son pit that did the mauling and the father pit chewed on the flesh laying around and licked up the blood. When the police came, the father pit became "food" aggresive.

I think the pit bull owner should be put to sleep.
