ANIMAL CONTROL SUMMIT SCHEDULED FOR APRIL 20TH
The question of how to manage the growing number of abandoned and dangerous animals will be addressed in a public meeting on Tuesday April 20th at 7 p.m. at the Pike County Courthouse. Two local non-profit groups are partnering to bring several experts on animal shelters and animal control to Pike. In addition, there will be time for a public discussion on how to finance and run a facility. Pike County Friends of Animals has invited Cheryl McAuliffe, Director of the Georgia chapter of the Humane Society of the United States and the Director and staff of the Meriwether Animal Control facility. Citizens to Promote Pike will provide refreshments and facilitate the meeting and discussion. Bennie Evans, Chairman of CTPP noted "our two organizations have come together to provide a forum for information and solutions for a problem that is growing in size throughout the county."
The groups hope to begin the process of reaching consensus among county residents on how to address the problem. This spring there have been many reports of farm animal attacks and deaths by dogs, litters of dogs and kittens abandoned in empty buildings and along county roads, and several horses who have died because of neglect and abandonment. Don Bailey, president of Pike County Friends of Animals has led a three year drive to look for ways to solve these problems and will speak on local efforts after presentations by the guest speakers.
