Quito woman seeks accountability after pitbull attack

A 45-year-old woman in the San Juan sector of Quito, Ecuador, has reported being attacked by a pitbull, resulting in multiple injuries. The victim claims the dog's owner has refused to cover her medical expenses and noted difficulties in accessing necessary anti-rabies vaccinations.

The victim filed a complaint with the Quito Municipality's Animal Welfare Unit (UBA) approximately two weeks ago but reports receiving no response or information regarding actions taken. She is seeking legal accountability, medical assistance, and the identification of the animal's owner.
