Vicious Dog Kills Ex Marine. Letter to the Editor~by John Alfred
Mountain Ranch, CA – Community rallies together to change county vicious dog laws. Jerry Yates, a resident of Mountain Ranch was mauled by two pit bulls on Aug. 22, 2010. The dogs belonged to an employee living on his property, Sheryl Sellers. Sellers plead not guilty to felony charges of knowingly having a mischievous animal, letting it be at large or keeping it without ordinary care, resulting in the death of a human being. There is speculation that Sellers may have been cited for having vicious dogs in the past. ..
A petition was put together by concerned citizens of Mountain Ranch to show the public outrage concerning this event. There are now over 500 signatures from residents in the area. Sellers is scheduled to appear in court on Sep 27, 2010. The community plans on attending the hearing scheduled for 8AM. The community also plans on going to the county board to address the issue of enforcing the current county municipal codes. The community is outraged by the lack of enforcement of the current laws already in place.
