This new tether law that has been approved, these people who wanted it might out to go and fence every dog owners yard?

We never killed our pets like some kind of trash or refuse. Sounds like from some of the bloggers, we have our own little "Aintry County" down here....I think I hear a banjo tuning up.

But I do know that our family was terrorized by a bulldog from jefferson ave that was hit by a car and died a couple of weeks ago. Not sure if it's a coincidence. Dogs up here (North end of the county) are allowed to run in other people yards and bite and threating. This dog I speak of had bit two people and animal control did nothing(mainly because the people were afraid to come forward). The dog has came after us, and other neighbors, in their on yards because he was allowed to run free when outside. There are good bulldogs but not all are because of irresponsible dog owners. My children couldn't even play in their own yard because of this bulldog ( that lived across from us). I see a lot of people assume the best in the dog, but until you have been terrorized by a irresponsible dog owner maybe you don't see the other side. A leash law needs to be in effect at the North end of the county, but I was told most residents don't want one. Sad really because everywhere I have lived since I left Century has had a leash law and it's great! People can get out and enjoy their neighborhood without fear of being bit and mauled by someones dog. I guareentee if this dog would have mauled a child the comments would have been a heck of a lot different. And it was coming, with the dog I speak of, not that this was him. Just really a coinsidence, maybe? Well I must say for the record I dont know who’s dog this was.

I think the pound in Pcola put down over 12 THOUSAND animals lst year.. . 1000/month, 250/week, 50/day m-f. I'd say that's an indicator of how we treat animals in God's country. Need more facts? Just drive around and LOOK.... oh and wharfrat? as for facts? I think the pound in Pcola put down over 12 THOUSAND animals lst year.. . 1000/month, 250/week, 50/day m-f.

And sara is right... we treat animals like so much trash. Throw them out when you're done. Shoot 'em if they get in the trash. Drop them off so and let the pound deal with them. But we don't treat our kids any better so it doesn't actually suprise me anymore. wharfrat, I grew UP here… 54 years. And sara is right… we treat animals like so much trash.

A lot of the bad drivers, and stupid people, you talk about came here from somewhere else. Gosh Sara (from the north?), where do you get your “facts”?

The animals aren't telling. That's why we have animal control officers. County Commissioners should allocate more money for more officers - the commissioners should take a cut in pay to free up some money since undoubtly they aren't doing their job.

There is a group from NY that comes down here to rescue animals. I think some of our overspent tax money should go toward providing free spading and neutering for low income people. This would probably pay for itself after the pet population is reduced. While I'm thinking of it there should be free birth control pills handed out also. Just nip it in the bud.

They did nothing for their dog because they did not want a vet bill. They should never have a pet ever again. News Flash the people who called it in were the owners.
