An elderly Georgia couple were killed last Friday evening by a pack of feral dogs near their home in Lexington, Georgia. Sherry Schweder 65, went for a walk and when she did not return her husband Lothar Schweder 77, searched for her and discovered her body only to be killed by the dogs also. On Saturday morning a group of Jehovah’s Witnesses on a walk discovered the couple’s remains and called authorities.
Police and animal control agents rounded up 16 dogs in all using tranquilizer guns and traps. On Tuesday, the dogs were taken to the Madison-Oglethorpe Animal Shelter to undergo court-ordered euthanasia.
The deceased couple’s 20 pet cats and 7 dogs are now at the same shelter, as the search begins to find homes for them.
