Despite emergency appeal to Supreme Court, Bruce the dog euthanized in California
The dog’s euthanasia came after four judges upheld or declined to overturn the county’s order, according to Ventura County Animal Services.
Bruce, a 3-year-old German shepherd mix, was euthanized by Ventura County Animal Services after seriously injuring four people in unprovoked attacks.
Multiple courts, including the U.S. District Court and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, denied emergency motions and appeals to prevent or delay Bruce's euthanasia.
The Santa Paula Animal Rescue Center fought in court to save Bruce or have him surrendered to them before animal services took control, but their appeals were unsuccessful.
The legal process involved documented biting incidents resulting in injuries ranging from facial wounds to surgeries across multiple victims.
