Orange County Fire Department Fire Fighter Witness Michael (Mike)  
Moss.   Moss stated several bystanders, approximately ten (10) came by  
the fire station to advise them that two wolves were attacking the cows.

During the recorded statement, Moss stated he was working at Station  
#76 during the incident.  Moss stated that at approximately 1530 hrs,  
they received a knock at the door to the station.  Moss stated he was  
told by the Fire Fighter who answered the door that there were some  
wolves or dogs in the cow pasture.  Moss stated several more people  
came to the door to relate the same information to the Fire Department  
personnel.  Moss stated by 1600 hrs, he decided to go outside due to  
the number of complaints they had received.  Moss stated once outside,  
he saw two dogs running around and the cattle were circled around.

approximately 1530 hrs.  He remembers this time because he was getting  
ready to watch a program on television, The People’s Court, which
airs at 1600 hrs.  Moss said he was sitting in the chair flipping  
through the channel waiting for the show to start.  Moss stated the  
fire department personnel were asked by the bystanders who notified

do about this.  He said the bystanders would come by about every ten  
to fifteen minutes.  Moss stated none of the fire department personnel  
called the Sheriff’s Office or Animal Control

# 23
David Tindall, along with his wife had stopped along Narcoossee Rd to  
see what could be done.  David stayed at the pasture while his wife  
drove just a few yards up to the local Orange County Fire Station #76,  
where an Animal Control vehicle is parked.

#24
David Tindall stated while he was on scene, an unknown female came up  
and was talking with him about the situation.  They decided that David  
would stay at the pasture and she would go to the fire station (Orange  
County Fire/Rescue #76), which was just down the street.  David stated  
when the female returned, she appeared disgusted with the Fire  
Department personnel because they did not seem to have any desire to  
take any action.  She saw an Orange County Animal Services vehicle  
parked at the station and thought they would help.

David stated the female told him that the Fire Department personnel  
had contacted a “Grove Patrol” or someone who could handle the  
situation.

#25
Moss stated another lady pulled up and he believes it was the person  
with the video because she had a European or Irish accent.  She then  
said there were wolves attacking and asked what they (fire department  
personnel) were going to do.
