Stray dogs attack, kill woman in northern Manitoba First Nation: RCMP
LITTLE GRAND RAPIDS, Man. — A woman on a night-time walk was attacked and killed by a large group of stray dogs in a remote Manitoba First Nation, RCMP said Monday.
The attack in Little Grand Rapids, a fly-in settlement 300 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg, renewed concerns about the dangers of dogs left to roam small communities in the north.
RCMP said in a news release that they received a report on Saturday that the body of a woman had been found at a construction site.
“The initial investigation has determined that a 24-year-old female from Little Grand Rapids First Nation was on her way home from another residence in the early hours of Saturday morning when she was attacked by a large group of stray dogs,” the release said.
