Davina Corbin, aged 56, was discovered covered in numerous bite marks and injuries near the Blackhawk Trail in Feather Falls, California by officials at around 2am
A woman has been mauled to death by a pack of 25 Great Danes while walking in a popular trail in California.
Davina Corbin, 56, was discovered covered in numerous bite marks and injuries near the Blackhawk Trail in Feather Falls by officials at around 2am last week.
It was revealed that the cause of Mrs Corbin’s death was the result of a domestic dog attack. Lab analysis results showed that the victim’s clothes were covered in DNA consistent with domestic dogs.
Neighbours later also said Mrs Corbin lived in the area, did not have a car and had often been spotted walking on the trail near Craig Access. Based on these revelations, Butte County deputies began searching a residence near to where Mrs Corbin was found and soon discovered around 25 Great Dane dogs that were loose in the area.
According to an official press release, authorities spent the entire day capturing the dogs and were able to turn 23 of them over to Animal Control. Detectives are still trying to capture the remaining two.
The horror happened on a remote walking trail in Caifornia
Max Hecker, who lives in the neighbourhood, said he has had more than one run-in with the pack of Great Danes in the last two years - and they have tried to attack him.
"The Great Danes, they come across the road here at me. I jumped in the car and left. This road would be solid tracks of the dogs, and they’d be out here in the road, and you would have to wade through ’em’," Mr Hecker said.
He also revealed that him and the other neighbors have complained to Butte County Animal Control multiple times in the past about the pack but this is the first time any action has been taken.
"What I’m saying is animal control is just as much at fault about that death as them dogs. They didn’t do anything about any of this. This is what I’m mad about; that lady should have never died," Mr Hecker told KCRA.
Great Danes, a German breed of large mastiff-sighthound, tower over a majority of other dogs and when standing on their hind legs, they are taller than most people.
