Abandoned Rottweilers Kill Mother of Three in Karnataka
A woman named Anita Halesh was walking home late at night when two big, strong dogs called Rottweilers attacked her.
These dogs had been left on the road by some people just an hour before.
The dogs bit her many times, and she sadly died.
The people who left the dogs are being investigated.
The village where this happened has been worried about stray dogs for a while.
The dogs were later killed by angry villagers.
The courts in India have been talking about what to do with stray dogs, with some saying they should be removed from public places.
Two abandoned Rottweilers mauled Anita Halesh, a 38-year-old mother of three, to death in Karnataka.
The attack occurred at 11pm on Thursday, an hour after the dogs were dumped on the road by unknown individuals.
Anita suffered 50 bite marks and had one hand separated from her body.
The Supreme Court has ordered the removal of stray dogs from public places and highways.
The Karnataka High Court had previously overturned a ban on 23 dangerous dog breeds, including Rottweilers.
