LILLE, France: A pregnant woman was killed by dogs while walking her own dog in a forest in northern France during a hunt with hounds, investigators said Tuesday. The body of the 29-year-old woman was found Saturday in a forest outside the town of Villers-Cotterets, about 90 kilometres northeast of Paris, the prosecutor’s office in nearby Soissons said. Trinh said that tests had been carried out on 93 dogs, including some hounds from the hunt and five dogs belonging to the women herself, to try establish which ones attacked her. According to local newspaper Le Courrier Picard, the dogs were hunting deer. The woman had called her partner while walking her dog to report the presence of “threatening dogs“, the prosecutor’s office said.
