A lengthy May 3 Town of Essex Selectboard meeting included a state-mandated vicious dog hearing.
The hearing came at the request of resident Shannon Oborne who had been attacked by a German Shepherd at her Autumn Pond Way apartment building April 25; she then submitted a complaint to the selectboard the following day. Vermont statute says a municipality must, with seven days of receiving the complaint, investigate the charges and hold a hearing on it.
The statute further reads, âIf the domestic pet or wolf-hybrid is found to have bitten the victim without provocation, the municipal officials shall make such order for the protection of persons as the facts and circumstances of the case may require, including, without limitation, that the domestic pet or wolf-hybrid is disposed of in a humane way, muzzled, chained, or confined.â

Seth Schneehagan
Richard Lee “Seth” Towle Schneehagen III died on Wednesday, February 24, 2021, following a long battle with mental health and addiction. While we knew his addiction might someday take him from us, we know that he is now in a lighter place.
Seth was born on June 20, 1990, in Burlington, Vt., where he grew up and lived until 2015, when he decided to seek help and enrolled himself in a California treatment center. Seth loved California and created a new sober life and started a job he loved. Unfortunately, the demons resurfaced, and Seth was not able to fight them any longer. With a few more tries at sobriety, Seth continued to use the drugs to numb his internal pain. Eventually the battle was beyond his control, and it took his life. Seth wanted to be clean. He knew how much his life could change if he could just get a handle on it. He just couldn’t get there.
