Dogs missing in our area

Locust Fork

I don't know what is going on, but it seems we have someone either killing or taking dogs off in our area.     These aren't small dogs that are missing, but larger breeds.    I've been frustrated by people that let their pets roam free....but I'd never harm a dog (unless it showed any sign of being vicious in any way.)    I feel for the people looking for their pets.

Agree. Everyone should keep their pets inside home or fences during times like this.

I can only imagine what would happen to any dog running loose in China.

What makes you think it is different in Alabama?
Store shelves are empty.  Home freezers have space.

Sometimes you have to be an activist.

When my children were young, the local dogs formed a pack & roamed the neighborhood, killing cats, rabbits, other small animals.  (Pack dogs will attack small children.)  Our county had a "leash law", so I turned in a couple of non-compliant neighbors.  (This was the suburbs, not the open range.)  After a county of the neighbors were fined, they got the message.

Could it be a case of dogs threatening humans or forming packs and running dear. It may be a shoot, shovel and shut up situation.  Bob

Wendigo's gotta eat too.
or could be like here, had some medium size mountain lion tracks in our stack yard last week and there seems to be several less barn cats that were living amongst the hay bales.

or Don could be spot on, why partake of a yorkie, when you can get a lab or German Shepherd

  gotta remember there are folks staying at home now that would regularly be somewhere else, not to defend them, but they may be taking their frustrations out on the "strays".....

Cats have a higher protein content If you are low on space.

If the dogs were all male then someone with a purebred female dog in heat would fit that profile especially if one of the loose dogs was successful.

Dog napping, serial killers stuck at home needing to blow off steam or a space rock is about to land. Is Alabama known for earthquakes? I've been told critters know enough to run for the hills before crap hits the fan.
