Thank you

I just want to say thanks to everyone who expressed sympathy to me during the time when I really needed it. You really don't know that I probably couldn't have made it through as easily without your support and words of kindness.

7 year old Jason Walter - KILLED by Pit Bulls

Dogs attacked and caused the death of a 7-year-old La Salle boy this morning on a rural property between Varna and Wenona, according to the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department and coroner.


The sheriff’s department received a 911 call at about 7:15 a.m. Wednesday “advising of a dog attack at the Eric Shanklin Farm, approximately 2 miles northeast of Varna,” according to the report. An area resident advised that an Eric Shanklin is a renter of the house at that site.

“Jason T. Walter, 7, was outside the rural residence when he was attacked by a number of dogs. Family members found him lying in the driveway outside the residence and called 911,” according to the report. Marshall County Coroner Dave Lenz pronounced Walter dead "a short time later.”

“Four dogs, three pit bulls and a mixed breed, owned by other residents on the property were captured and taken to the Marshall County veterinary clinic to be euthanized and taken to Galesburg for further investigation,” according to the sheriff’s department’s initial report. Sheriff Rob Russell initially said the mixed breed was personally owned by Shanklin, but he did not provide any other specific information on the ownership of the dogs.

Walter was a student in the second grade at Northwest School, La Salle, superintendent Dan Marenda confirmed. After learning about the death, the La Salle school district was in the process of making social workers available to school children.

The sheriff’s department was assisted by Wenona Ambulance, Varna Fire and Ambulance and Lifeflight. State police and Marshall County Sheriff’s Department and the coroner continue to investigate.

Man Killed In Pit Bull Attack

 A Calaveras County businessman was killed by two of his friend's pit bulls, and the employee is now facing charges, according to authorities.



Mountain Ranch resident Jerry Yates, 69, was attacked on his own property after his employee, tenant and friend's pit bulls escaped their cages.



Yates' son found his body lying between two cars on the property parking area. The son was also attacked after finding the body, but was able to escape.



Deputies said they found a lot of blood on the two vehicles and saw obvious signs Yates was trying to escape when he died.



Friends described Yates as a valued member of the Mountain Ranch community and said the loss would be difficult to bear.



"Truck broke down? Jerry'd come and help you," said friend Doug Josef. "This isn't the way he should've went."



Calaveras County Sheriff's deputies said the pit bulls' owner was arrested and charged with owner neglect and having an animal that caused human death.



The two pit bulls were euthanized by Calaveras County animal control.

Crowbar used to stop savage pitbull attack

A pitbull that attacked another dog in Hastings on Tuesday had to be pried off with a crowbar.

A man who was cycling with the pitbull on a lead was pulled off his bike when it rushed a black labrador, a witness said.



Dog-control officers have now impounded the pitbull.



It's not known how badly the labrador or its owner were injured, but the woman was understood to have received bites to her hand. The attack occurred about 7am on Heretaunga St, near Riverslea Rd.



A witness said the pitbull, which was wearing a red bandanna, couldn't be controlled by its owner. "The guy had it on a lead but it just took off and pulled him off his bike."



The witness, who didn't want to be named, took a crowbar from his vehicle and ran to the other dog owner's aid. "I went over to it and stabbed the crow bar in its mouth and levered it open to get it off the other dog."



The man said the pitbull's owner was apologetic at first, but became aggressive when confronted by other passersby.



"People started telling him he should have had a muzzle on it and he got quite aggressive, saying he would smash over the people, then he took off."



Having seen the attack, the man said he would now back moves to ban pitbulls.



"It could have been pretty nasty if it had been a child or a smaller dog."



Hastings District Council community safety manager Phil Evans said dog-control officers impounded the pitbull.



They were waiting on more details on the attack from police, who interviewed the dog owners and witnesses, and investigating what charges could be laid.



Under Hastings dog bylaws, all pitbulls are classified as menacing, and must be muzzled and on a lead while in public.
