YALOBUSHA COUNTY, Miss. — A man was mauled to death by two dogs while working at a Mississippi animal shelter last Friday.
Clifford Phillips Jr., 57, was mauled to death while working at Second Chance Animal Alliance on Highway 315.
WREG was told that Phillips had worked at the shelter for more than two years.
According to its website, Second Chance Animal Alliance is a non-profit, volunteer-led organization providing care and finding homes for dogs in need.
On Thursday, the shelter was closed and no on has been available to talk about the tragedy that happened here just a few days ago.
Dudley Woods has known Clifford Phillips, Jr. for about nine years, and is still in shock over what happened on July 17 when Phillips was working at the shelter.
“A friend of mine was actually down there and heard about it when it happened, so he told me about the dogs attacking him,” said Woods, neighbor of Phillips Jr.
“A dog was already in a pen and he was trying to get another dog in there and the other dog tried to run out and he tried to hold him off with his foot and that dog grabbed his leg, pulled him down. And then the other dog jumped in with him. One of them was a pit, and the other was a pit mixed breed, and they killed him. They got it all on tape down there,” said Woods.
Yalobusha County Sheriff Jermain Gooch told the North Mississippi Herald newspaper the two dogs involved were among more than a dozen sheltered here connected to a court-ordered seizure involving animal abuse and dog fighting.
According to the newspaper, one of the dogs that attacked Phillips was shot and killed so that first responders could reach Phillips to render aid, but Phillips died on the scene. The male dog that initiated the attack was reportedly euthanized over the weekend.
Charles Phillips, mourning the death of his older brother, said Clifford loved animals but wondered if the tragedy could have been avoided.
“I went out and picked his vehicle up and his last paycheck, but she said, ‘I’m sorry I have no words for it,’ but she said, ‘I’m so sorry for your loss and everything,'” said Phillips.
“They’ve always done good. They’ve took a lot of strays and puppies and stuff from around here and they’ve always done good with that,” said Philips.
A memorial service was held on Thursday in Water Valley.

Man sad to see it. I can't stand pits.
Let's say it's true and that it's not the breed of the dog, it's the owner. It means that pit bulls are are the breed of choice for complete pieces of sh*t. who does that make look bad?

Dont understand why the posters here blame the dogs—when a gun is used in a crime it’s all the criminals fault. Seems like it would be most consistent to blame the owners of the dogs.
I've never had my gun get out of my yard and run next door and shoot a kid

"It's how they are raised."
My former next door neighbor had 3 different pits. All three were well cared for. Two of them ended up attacking people or pets.
How they're raised is a small factor, and it cannot undo the generations of selective breeding for aggressiveness by dog fighters.
The problem is they are incredibly powerful, even the smaller ones, and, once that switch flips inside of them, they do not relent.

Damn. Yours must be a micro penis!
So why, out of all the dozens and dozens of fine breeds out there, did you chose a PitBull? Do tell...

Because the dog is the criminal, lol. A gun by itself can’t kill anyone. A dog by itself can, especially a pit bull. The owner can do everything right and it still kills someone. I have a 38 revolver that’s always locked up away from the kids that never killed anyone and never will(at least innocent people).

Can we pass a law where pits are automatically euthanized when picked up? I’d be in favor of that.
That's exactly what happened with those dogs in Zachary a few weeks ago.

Seems like it was a prison break.
Seriously, that is so messed up, but I would think you would be more careful knowing the dog was bread for fighting.
