A Calgary man has been fined and prohibited from owning a pet for 15 years after his three pit bulls escaped his backyard and killed an 86-year-old neighbor. The victim, Betty Ann Williams, was attacked in an alley on June 5, 2022. Denis Bagaric pleaded guilty to two city bylaw charges: an animal attacking a person causing severe injury and animals running at large. Provincial court Justice Gord Wong imposed $18,000 in fines and victim surcharge, and granted a request from the Crown to ban Bagaric from owning a pet for 15 years, stating that he put his own wishes over the safety of the community.
