Postwoman (61) bitten to death by five dogs

The incident must be thoroughly investigated. Allegedly, there have been reports of dog attacks in the area before, according to “CNN”. Whether the same dogs were involved in the incidents as in the attack on Pamela Jane R. is unknown.

The dogs were on a fenced property, police said. However, they managed to move stones aside and escape.

According to official figures from the US Postal Service, more than 5,400 postal workers were attacked by dogs in the United States last year. With 201 reported incidents, Florida is one of the most affected states. For comparison: In Germany, almost 2,000 dog attacks on postal workers were reported last year. (howl)
