🕯️ In Memory of Davina Corbin
Today is Davina’s Angel Day. In memory of her life, please remind others today that they must report dangerous dogs in writing and follow up to ensure a report was generated. This small step can begin to hold governments and animal control accountable.

A life ended. A system exposed. And now, puppies from the pack that killed her are living among us.
Davina Corbin, 56, was found mauled to death in a horrific attack by a roaming pack of Great Dane mixes in Butte County, California.
She was not jogging in a wooded trail or trespassing on private property. She was in her own neighborhood, doing what millions of us do every day, when up to 25 large breed dogs surrounded her and tore her to pieces.
This was not a freak accident. This was a known danger.
Neighbors had repeatedly warned officials about these dogs for years. They roamed. They acted aggressively. People felt unsafe. But Animal Control denied any threat existed. They waited until blood ran in the street.
And now those dogs’ puppies have been adopted into the public. Not euthanized. Not quarantined. Not studied. Released. They didn’t perform any investigations to see which dogs attacked and ingested her. They didn’t perform DNA testing. The offspring of these fatally attacking dogs were flipped into the community.
Let that sink in.
🧬 These Weren’t Normal Dogs
These weren’t house pets.
These were feral Great Dane mixes…giant dogs bred over centuries for protection, guarding, and intimidation. The average Great Dane stands over 30 inches tall and can weigh 100–200 pounds. When untrained and in packs, they become lethal weapons.
Despite this, Butte County officials:
• Dispatched only the adult dogs
• Refused to identify the specific attackers via DNA
• Handed over 18 puppies, genetically linked to the killers, for adoption
📚 Science Has Been Clear: Genetics Play a Role
• A 2017 study in Nature found strong genetic links to behavioral traits in dogs, including predatory aggression, impulsivity, and high prey drive.
• Breeds are not cosmetic. They’re genetic blueprints for predictable behavior.
• Studies confirm that pack aggression escalates exponentially, especially in breeds built for guarding or hunting.
When a pack kills a human unprovoked and officials take the offspring of those exact dogs, allow them to mature without strict behavioral screening, and adopt them into the public?
That’s not compassion.
That’s negligence.
That’s reckless endangerment.
🔁 They Did This After Ignoring Years of Complaints
What message does this send?
That residents begging for help should be ignored.
That violent dog attacks are “tragic flukes.”
That public safety ranks beneath breed redemption politics.
And worst of all, that the same bloodline of killers should now live on in the homes of unsuspecting families.
We cannot accept this.
🔒 What You Can Do
✅ Document every complaint.
✅ Email your animal control, copy police, and demand written follow up.
✅ Oppose breed redemption policies that put more value on “saving” violent dogs than preventing future victims.
✅ Share Davina’s story so she is not forgotten and so this doesn’t happen again.
🕯️ We Remember Davina
Davina mattered. Her life had value. She was failed by the system, ignored by officials, and erased in silence by dog apologists. Now her death is being brushed aside as officials literally distributed the bloodline that killed her into neighborhoods.
Let this be our line in the sand.
This is not compassion.
This is not rescue.
This is genetic roulette with human lives at stake.
