Fayetteville fighting feral dogs with gunfire
An estimated 10 packs of wild dogs — up to 150 in all — are roaming the streets of Fayetteville, N.C., county animal control officials say.
Dr. John Lauby, director of the Animal Services Department, said his animal control officers have shot and killed nine feral dogs in the last two weeks.
"It's a distasteful thing," said Lauby, a retired veterinarian. "They are a large problem."
According to an article in the Fayetteville Observer — and we have to point out that it's written by Andrew Barksdale — the large number of feral dogs may be a result of more dogs being abandoned by their owners. Dogs can turn become unfriendly to people after being abandoned, Lauby said.
Fayetteville City Councilman Jim Arp has asked that the county animal control office — there is no similar office in the city — help solve the problem. Arp said the feral dogs put children at risk, and some residents say the wild dogs are killing their cats.
Lauby said his department had thinned the packs of dogs over the winter, but new litters in the spring compounded the recent surge. The problem, he said, is compounded by people leaving food out for the dogs.

from facebook page: Fayetteville NC has hired a kill team to shoot all stray dogs in the area. Some are peoples lost pets! Some were only puppies! The media is writing that each dog is being humanely trapped and taken to a shelter to be evaluated and held for three days.... THIS IS NOT TRUE! We spoke first hand with one of the members of the kill team and he said they "hunt for dogs at night and if they won't "come" to them, they shoot them." The story only gets worse! Please join us in raising awareness of this horrible slaughtering on our streets! We must be the voice, for the voiceless!!! If you need help with sign ideas, you can google "animal protest signs" and click images and there are alot of ideas! Also please include NY-ARAA on some of your signs, as they are the reason this event is even taking place!
