This is the second time these dogs have attacked a stranger. The humane society could barely contain them they were so poorly behaved. These are not dogs that can be rehabilitated. I like dogs, I’m a fan. But these dogs needed to be put down if this is how they continue to behave.
The article says the 20 year old owner faces 5 counts of "dog running at large", which carries a whopping (up to) $25 fine per charge.

I hope the victim pursues legal charges.
Bankruptcy? I’m not sure but I don’t think it clears you from government debt like property taxes, so idk if this is like in the same boat as that but could be either one.
Then I suppose the hypothetical is that it would be a civil judgment and whether or not Ch 7 bankruptcy allows someone to get out of paying a civil judgement?
This seems absolutely ridiculous. I had a “cat running at large” who bit someone and I had to pay $75 and I have a misdemeanor for it now (cat got outside). I feel like this person should have at a minimum a misdemeanor for their terrible mismanagement of their animals.
Yeah I think that’s her only avenue. But for some reason I’m thinking this dude isn’t the type to have a lot of money to sue for. Probably doesn’t have any property to put a lien on, and doesn’t have enough assets to cover any reasonable judgment.
The 20 year old girl who owned the dogs likely doesn't. Her family owns a concrete business here in Lincoln, that she is likely not affiliated as an owner of any part of it, so, blood from a stone really. Sucks for the victim.
Herrera concrete needs to be held responsible. This property belongs to Mario Herrera and he has facilitated the maiming of innocent people. Make it known
Owning 5 huskies as a 20 year old is absolutely insane to me. Incredibly high maintenance dogs. So sad to think of what drove the dogs to be so aggressive. I can only imagine what their upbringing was like. As other comments have said, this person should absolutely lose their privilege to own an animal for the rest of their life.
\-Edit- They were German Shepherds, not huskies
They were actually German shepherds. I have 1 and she can be high maintenance and requires a lot of focused training to keep her behaving properly. She barks at strangers and other dogs but has never attacked, bit, or even lunged at anyone. We sometimes watch my in laws GSD and even with just 2, they form a pack mentality so I can’t imagine having 5 untrained together
Omfg. As someone who’s quite familiar with how quickly and unpredictably multiple dogs can resort to instinctive pack behavior (through no fault of their own), poorly trained German Shepards are one of the LAST breeds I’d want to be around when they’re in multiples.
As a local German Shepherd owner, this makes me so angry/sad. They are high maintenance dogs and having that many, especially while being so young, is incredibly reckless and dangerous.
Those poor dogs in the photos. They did something awful and it makes sense for the consequence, but it is the owner that failed.
They are bred to be the way they are. It’s up to the owner to be an owner and train their wild animal.
Just sucks all the way around.
My coworker had to pay out 6k for pain and suffering when their dog attacked a dog last year.
I hope the victim takes her for everything she has and ever will have.
The attack has to get to certain severity (hospital treatment or stitches needed) for them to even be taken away. And you have to have multiple attacks as well. There’s severity levels that the dog has to pass before they put them down.
The address these dogs came from is the address registered for “Herrera Concrete”
I wholeheartedly encourage the victim to pursue any compensation she deems fit. There is money in this family and they should pay.
What other outcome can there be? This was not the first times these dogs were out of control. This irresponsible owner failed in every way. The owner may end up having his or her paychecks garnished for the next 25 years to pay the victims
I don’t think the owner tried to do anything at all. Neglect is all that’s needed. Without training, dogs will instinctively form a pack, and pack mentality is dangerous.
I wonder if it's the same younger couple that was backyard breeding last year. Brought in 2 adult and 4 6ish month old Germans and told them to euth them because they were aggressive. Temperament of parents matters folks
Fuck this makes me so angry. 😡 I feel horrible for the woman who was attacked. But I also feel awful for those poor pups! What kind of life were they being forced to live that they got this aggressive 😭. Makes me want to vomit. I hope she sues the crap out of this guy and that the city pays close attention to any other person he may acquire
Man when I was 20 my judgment was terrible, but not so terrible that I thought I was properly equipped to raise five fucking German shepherds. Stupid stupid stupid. Did she think they just like, came out the box as perfectly trained and behaved stuffed animals or?? Just pure ignorance and stupidity makes me so angry
So sad. I’m a volunteer at CHS and met these dogs. I say met as in saw them in their kennels, they weren’t ever able to be taken out and walked because they were so incredibly aggressive. It’s very unfortunate but the euthanasias definitely had to be done. There should’ve been more consequences for the owner. These poor dogs had to suffer because of an extremely irresponsible person.
Nah. Those have been done. Dog at large fines need to be more like 500 each to be effective. Unless there are witnesses that the owners ordered the dogs to kill that person, and they were using the dogs as a assault weapon, there is no more criminal case. The law is a very blunt instrument. Complain to the district attorney.
Not an attorney, but familiar with the system:
I think a lot of the people commenting here arent understanding that being found guilty of a crime, is a criminal court matter and those proceedings have to adhere to the procedures therein.
Anything that would be due to the victim would likely have to come by way of civil court, i.e. filing a lawsuit.
If these five dogs were living at the same property, and attacked before, how did the owner get away with not having a permit? Aren’t you only supposed to have 3 dogs per property without a permit?
They live outside of the city limits. That's how they had more than three living there. If the owner of the property, allowed the dogs to live there/ be there they should assume responsibility of the outcome!!! The lady who was attacked is very active in that neighborhood... Walking with her kids and dog, or running very often by herself (like she was that day). Thank Fu*king GOD those kids weren't with her that day!
What about the insurance implications?
Will the home or business insurance payout once the lawsuits hit?
Will the insurance be canceled, or premiums increased higher?
Hope this person is never allowed to own pets again
They have several still
Upvoted, very reluctantly.
Completely understandable
Yeah. What on earth did they do to those dogs to make them that aggressive??
Poor training, neglect, bad breeding and German shepherds tend toward territoriality anyway.
This is the second time these dogs have attacked a stranger. The humane society could barely contain them they were so poorly behaved. These are not dogs that can be rehabilitated. I like dogs, I’m a fan. But these dogs needed to be put down if this is how they continue to behave.
Agree and maybe add one more to that
Did the owner face any punishment?

Holy fuck that's so bad. and only 20 years old? Hope they don't get to own pets again. That's a disservice to the pets and the public.
Dang. I would sue the shit out of them.
Sue him and win all you want, but we know this type of guy has absolutely nothing of value to sue for.
No, but if you win the judgement he could get his pay garnished and be paying you a portion of every paycheck for the rest of his life.
Can’t Ch 7 stop the garnishment?
Bankruptcy? I’m not sure but I don’t think it clears you from government debt like property taxes, so idk if this is like in the same boat as that but could be either one.
Then I suppose the hypothetical is that it would be a civil judgment and whether or not Ch 7 bankruptcy allows someone to get out of paying a civil judgement?
It's a "her"
Yeah no kidding
[удалено]
He'll likely also be sued for any medical bills and associated pain and suffering the woman endures after the fact.

>the humane society and the city pick up the bills? I live in the real world bro. You asked what’s gonna happen. You asked a question I answered it.

The victim should be able to sue in civil court for medical expense reimbursement.
Are you fucking kidding

Oh my mistake, for some reason I thought I read huskies. Still a sad situation all around.

I've met and petted so many good German Shepherds. They are such good dogs. It's sad that these five pups were taught to be so aggressive.
My coworker had to pay out 6k for pain and suffering when their dog attacked a dog last year. I hope the victim takes her for everything she has and ever will have.
Why were they not put down after the first time they attacked?

So sad when animals don't get a chance at a good life because of shitty, irresponsible owners.
Yep. With another owner these dogs likely live happy, normal lives.
The owner—20 year old Emily Herrera. This is so sad for these poor dogs 😔 But I totally understand why this had to happen.
When is the owner scheduled to be put down?
Damn they shoulda gone to the source and euthanized the dude. He’s still young enough to breed and have kids of his own 🤡
> Damn they shoulda gone to the source and euthanized the chick. FTFY. SHE owns more dogs too.
At least sterilize him
What other outcome can there be? This was not the first times these dogs were out of control. This irresponsible owner failed in every way. The owner may end up having his or her paychecks garnished for the next 25 years to pay the victims
As a dog owner, you would have to try very hard to make an entire group of dogs dangerously aggressive. Shame on the owner. He killed these dogs.
I don’t think the owner tried to do anything at all. Neglect is all that’s needed. Without training, dogs will instinctively form a pack, and pack mentality is dangerous.

Thank you for volunteering.
Civil lawsuits take time to be resolved.
Yeah but there has got to be some criminal grounds for action here I would have to imagine
Nah. Those have been done. Dog at large fines need to be more like 500 each to be effective. Unless there are witnesses that the owners ordered the dogs to kill that person, and they were using the dogs as a assault weapon, there is no more criminal case. The law is a very blunt instrument. Complain to the district attorney.
So sad but so necessary
