Forty hungry dogs killed a teenage girl during a feeding attempt Wednesday. Makayla Fortner tried giving food to the pack with her mother Stephanie Wilkie. The 15-year-old died from her injuries despite police firing warning shots. Local people had warned about the dangerous animals roaming Alexander, Arkansas neighborhoods.

Residents feared letting children walk to school bus stops because of the aggressive dogs. Heidi Clay said the animals acted mean at property fences. Wilkie posted on Facebook about the hoarding situation before the attack. She asked for community help with medical care for the neglected animals.

Police removed 14 dogs from the property after the fatal incident. Authorities put the animals down during their investigation. The Bryant Lady Hornets soccer team mourned their teammate. Family friend Erin Bowman remembered Fortner's bright smile and happy personality.

A fundraiser collected over 25,000 pounds for the grieving family. Other fatal dog attacks happened across America this year. Officials examine animal hoarding problems and stray dog dangers. The tragedy highlights risks from uncontrolled pet populations.
