Bloodthirsty pack of dogs take out 350-lb. llama

Not really "weird" but still kinda strange.

Local law enforcement officials in Northeast Washington state are worried about a pack of dogs that have attacked at least 100 animals since March. The pack, they fear, is now "killing for fun."

The wild dogs took out a 350-lb llama on Tuesday night, the latest in a string of attacks that have left more than 100 goats and other farm animals dead in the ranching community of Stevens County. The dogs, whose breeds are so far unknown, emerge only at night, but residents in their predatory range in the valleys and mountains near Spokane are afraid the canines may be getting bolder.

"I think they are capable of do anything at this point," Deputy Sheriff Keith Cochran told KXLY4, adding that he's worried the animals may just be preying on area creatures for the sport of it. Undersheriff Lavonne Webb told the AP the pack is " killing for the sake of killing."

"They are doing it to be cruel, they're bloodthirsty," resident Temma Davis told the station. "It's like 'Cujo.' "

Webb told the AP it's possible some of the four or five dogs in the pack aren't wild and go home to their owners during the day.

That center creature looks more wolf than Dog.  Maybe it's Arya Stark's runaway Dire Wolf.

In Nashville there is a huge wooded park with walking trails that had (and prossibly still has) a serious problem with a big pack of feral dogs. These dogs regularly went after folks riding bikes or walking their dogs along the trails. One woman was even arrested for sneeking out at night and feeding them, just like Betty White in LAKE PLACID!

It got so bad the dogs were going into the surrounding neighborhood at night (where I lived) and snatching pets off porches and out of yards. I swear one night they were outside my fence trying to recruit my German Shepherd to join the pack! I looked out and my dog was sitting at the fence and just looking at about ten dogs sitting on the other side. They took off as soon as they saw me.
