AIKEN, S.C. (WRDW/WAGT) -- For Christy Lynn and her family, it's a scene that's hard to forget.

"Because of their wounds and all of the blood, I'm sure that they suffered tremendously and fought for their life for hours," Lynn said. "The amount of blood was unreal. It was just a massacre."

These are graphic, but they show the scene where her family lost two horses and a goat. Some animals, left without limbs.

"We've had them for more than 10 years so they're part of our family. My dad goes down every day to the pasture and he feeds the animals and he pets the animals."

She also captured these pictures, hours after the incident on February 22nd. They show three of her neighbor's dogs covered in blood.

"When we saw the dogs right after this incident, they had blood all over their back, over their face, all up their legs, all over their body."

Animal control was called and took the three dogs in. They tell us they're still investigating, but the fate of the dogs is unclear.

But the dog owner says in a Facebook post her dogs didn't kill them, just got to them afterwards. Christy says, let's take it to court.

"There's a possibility that the animals can be released after the court date," Lynn said. "They obviously have a whole litter of puppies. Is this cycle going to repeat down the road? And then what? Do we have to wait until a child's face is ripped off or somebody's killed before someone will listen to us and do something? This is a dangerous situation."
