Two stray dogs injured at least seven people, including one seriously, this Saturday in Vierzon (Cher). The two animals, a labrador and another of undetermined breed, wandered on the public highway, according to the Bourges prosecutor, confirming information from the Republican Berry .
"The two dogs were tracked by the police and ended up on the highway," said the prosecutor. “The gendarmes on the highway managed to push them back onto an access ramp until the dogs became aggressive towards the gendarmes who shot them. "
An ongoing investigation
The two dogs had separate owners from the same family. The victims, "rather aged between 50 and 70 years", were hospitalized. The investigation must determine whether the dogs have inadvertently escaped the owners 'surveillance or whether there have been faults in the animals' surveillance.
Investigators also need to understand "why they got aggressive". "We have to rule out the possibility of an illness like rabies," according to the prosecutor. In November, in Aisne, a 29-year-old pregnant woman was killed by dogs while she was walking her own in an area where a hunt was organized.
