Attacks Prompt Pit-Bull Ban Debate

POSTED: 9:37 am CST February 5, 2008

OBERLIN, La. -- The Allen Parish Police Jury and Kinder officials are taking closer looks at the kinds of pets residents own in the wake of a fatal mauling in Longville in Beauregard Parish and an incident in which a police officer shot a dog after it attacked him.
[FONT='Georgia','serif']Both incidents involved pit bull dogs. [/font]
[FONT='Georgia','serif']Monday, Kinder's Town Council introduced a proposal to amend its vicious-animal laws to ban pit bulls, and the police jury has placed discussion of a similar ban on its Feb. 19 agenda. [/font]
[FONT='Georgia','serif']A spokesman for the Beauregard Parish sheriff's office said Kelli Chapman, 24, died of bite trauma and blood loss. [/font]

[FONT='Georgia','serif']Chapman had injuries to her forearms, indicating possible defensive wounds. [/font]
[FONT='Georgia','serif']Deputies said the pit bulls -- a 4-year-old male and 1-year-old female -- slept with the family and were in the house when her husband, Jason Chapman, left for work.[/font]
