In Thorndale, Texas, a 76 year old woman was mauled to death by a pack of six rott/pit mix breed dogs.  They attacked her as she was mowing her lawn.  A man who attempted to help her was also bitten.

Sherriff's investigators found the dogs later at the home of her next door neighbor, but haven't determined if they will file charges against the owner.

Due to the blood lines of these dogs and their obvious aggressive behavior, I wonder if they were being used for dog fighting.
