KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A woman hurt in a dog mauling last year that took the life of a man is suing Kansas City Pet Project. KC Pet Project said it was her own dogs that had been terrorizing the neighborhood for two years before and after the attack. A FOX4 investigation reveals that dogs even pose d a danger to law enforcement. The video of the attack by a gang of what police have described as pit bulls is hard to watch. The dogs belonged to John Thibeaux and killed 46-year-old Chris Culbertson. A woman named Holly Lane ran to help and, in the process, was bitten. Now Lane is suing KC Pet Project, saying in part in the lawsuit:"Prior to November 2, 2024, KCPP had received multiple complaints from residents that various pit bull dogs in the neighborhood had escaped their enclosures."

"We can confirm that those dogs we were looking for in 2023 and were the subject of the directed patrol were German shepherds from the household of Holly Lane,” said Katie Barnett, general counsel for KC Pet Project. The calls range from a woman who was scared after these dogs, living in Lane's home, roamed freely for months, even attacking her dogs, according to reports obtained by FOX4. The reports detail how the caller was scared for children getting off the bus after school. Even after the attack, the police were called again. The dogs were so aggressive that the police didn’t feel comfortable getting out of their car. On that day, the person who responded to the police as the owner of the dogs was Holly Lane. "Yes, we do believe these dogs should be taken off the streets for public safety. I mean, it’s clear that for two years these German shepherds have been terrorizing this neighborhood," Barnett said. FOX4 drove by Lane's home and saw one German shepherd. FOX4 found three citations, all for dogs in Lane's home. Due to an ordinance in Kansas City, KC Pet Project can’t take the dogs unless they catch them roaming again or if they are voluntarily surrendered. In the midst of this, with the council severing part of its partnership with KC Pet Project, the organization wants to set the record straight. In their view, they did their due diligence and will continue to support the community. 2 people dead after a house fire in Higginsville "We are absolutely committed to the community. The residents, the people, and the pets of Kansas City have depended on us for over a decade, and we will absolutely continue to do our good work," Barnett said. To be clear, KC Pet Project says they have no record of any calls about loose pit bulls in this neighborhood. FOX4 reached Lane's attorney, Mike White, to share this information with him and to get a response for this story. He paused and then said, “No comment.” ...read more read less
