Mauled bad enough they thought he was a pew pew victim. What a horrific way to leave the earth


 27 year old Alabama man mauled to death outside a home, 10 dogs were taken into custody and euthanized as a result.


At approximately 9:15 a.m. Dale County Deputies responded to a call at the 5500 block of County Road 33 in Skipperville, Alabama. When they arrived they found 27 year old Demarcus McKenzie laying on the ground. Demarcus was in such bad condition they initially thought they were looking at a shooting victim. They began the case as a homicide Investigation thinking that it had to be a gunshot wound to his head.


However once they started interviewing witnesses a new and sadly disturbing scenario came to light. McKenzie was mauled to death by 6 to 10 dogs. Surveillance video obtained with a search warrant shows the event in horrific detail.


In the video McKenzie can be seen leaving the dog owners home. As he was walking down the driveway one dog began being aggressive. Officials say McKenzie attempted to run away at this point, but as he began to run, more dogs joined the pursuit.


 Eventually, with 5 to 6 dogs chasing him, McKenzie seemed to trip and fall. That is when the dogs who were already in an excited state attacked as a group. 


The Sheriff said at one point McKenzie is trying to stand up as 6 dogs were going after him. They quickly pulled him back down and he eventually quit struggling.


On Monday morning the Sheriff's office euthanized 10 dogs who took part in the killing in some capacity. 


Rhonda Whigam, McKenzie's mother, thinks it's too early to count out homicide. She believes the dogs were commanded to attack. She points out Demarcus visited the house in the first place with no problems from the dogs. "Why all the sudden the dog's attack him," she asks.


She does however trust the Sheriff's office to do a good job and uncover the truth if this was in fact a planned attack.


According to reports, the sheriff's office received a call about a possible homicide. When they arrived at the scene, they found the body of the 27-year-old man, Demarcus McKenzie, who had been mauled by a group of dogs.


As the sheriff's office conducted their investigation, they obtained surveillance footage that showed the dogs pursuing McKenzie and eventually attacking him. 


Based on the evidence, the sheriff's office euthanized 10 dogs that were believed to have been involved in the attack.


The mother of the victim, Rhonda Whigham, is skeptical of the sheriff's office's findings and believes that more investigation is needed to determine whether the attack was intentional or whether it was a random act of aggression.


She questions why the dogs would have suddenly turned on her son, who she says had been friendly with them in the past. She is relying on the sheriff's office to get to the bottom of this case and determine what happened.


This story raises many questions about the safety of pets and the legal liability of pet owners. It also raises the question of whether more should be done to regulate the breeding and ownership of aggressive dogs.

Michael Morrison and his girlfriend, Debbie Means, were brutally murdered on prom night in 1980. After attending the dance, the couple was run off the road and forced at gunpoint to get into another car. Debbie was raped, strangled to death, and then Mike was shot execution-style. After attending the dance, Mike and Debbie got dinner at the Carriage House Restaurant in Belleville, and then attended a small party at the abandoned Peabody strip pits. They left about 2:30 a.m. but never made it home. It’s believed that Mike’s 1963 Plymouth Belvedere was run off the road before the couple was forced at gunpoint to get into someone else’s car.  They were then driven three miles away to an isolated spot near Funk School Road and Jack’s Run Road where Mike was locked in the trunk while Debbie was bound, raped and strangled to death. Mike was then removed from the trunk and shot point-blank in the back of the head three times and left face-down in a ditch. Investigators soon zeroed in on M...

Charla Nash was severely mauled by her friend's pet

Image
 In 2009, a woman named Charla Nash was severely mauled by her friend's pet chimpanzee named Travis. Travis had been raised like a human and could even perform basic tasks like using the toilet, making coffee, and riding in a car. However, on the day of the attack, something seemed to trigger the chimpanzee, and he viciously attacked Nash, biting her face, hands, and feet. Nash survived the attack, but she suffered severe injuries and had to undergo multiple surgeries. This case raised questions about the safety of keeping chimpanzees as pets and whether people truly understand the dangers of owning a wild animal. After the attack, there was a renewed debate about whether chimpanzees should be allowed as pets, and whether stronger regulations should be put in place to protect people and animals. Do you think that people should be allowed to keep chimpanzees and other wild animals as pets?

 In March of 2017, 14-year-old Bobby was reported missing from his home in Phoenix, Arizona. His mother, Sarah Linhart, told police that she had last seen him at their home the previous evening. She said that Bobby had taken a shower and gone to bed, and she assumed he was still in his room when she woke up the next morning. But when she went to check on him, he was nowhere to be found.  After Sarah reported Bobby missing, police searched the neighborhood and interviewed family and friends, but they found no sign of the boy. Two days after Bobby went missing, police received a tip that he had been seen at a nearby bus station. However, surveillance footage from the station showed no sign of Bobby. The case went cold, and Bobby’s family began to fear the worst. Then, in May of 2017, police received a tip that Bobby had been seen near a highway about 100 miles from Phoenix. Police and volunteers scoured the area near the highway, and they eventually found Bobby’s body in a shall...
