Something needs to be done...reports of dog neglect taken more seriously, harsher prison sentences... any other ideas?

Awful, awful way to die, and makes me think twice about passing dogs off lead on walks.

Should only walk 2 dogs at most or even 1 depending on the size of both you and the dog. How the dog reacts to things outside, and the other dog you are walking. Sick of pictures posted with walkers with 6 or more dogs, it might look good for a picture, but add some horses and watch the reactions.

One of the dogs had moments earlier attacked and bitten another woman who was walking her own dog – and she fled, injured.

A 60-year-old woman on horseback saw something of it as she approached the brow of a hill at 2.30pm on the North Downs Way – a bridle path at Gravelly Hill, near Caterham, Surrey – flanked by a grass bank and bushes and trees.
Surrounded by dogs pulling frenziedly at her limbs, a blonde woman wearing a beige jacket was on the ground, sitting but never quite managing to stand up. She never did.
'When we saw her she was about 50ft away,' the horsewoman told The Mail on Sunday.
'She was swamped by at least four medium-sized dogs, maybe more, attacking her, pulling her at arms and sides and she was screaming and shouting.' But perhaps surprisingly, there was no barking, a chilling detail that adds another layer to the horror.
The horsewoman, who believes she was the last person to see the victim alive, added: 'The dogs must have been on the lead because they were in such close proximity.
'I don't know why they kicked off the way they did. Maybe a couple were fighting with each other and she tried to intervene, and she got in the way and they saw red and just kept going.
'When she saw us she shouted: 'Turn back, turn back!'.'
