Something smells alright, how about the dead dog I called animal control about for two days straight on a roadway only to learn on the second call that they were aware he was there and was already there for two days, the excuse that I got for them not picking him up was that they were hoping that the owners would find him and have some closure (really?, how sick is that). When asked if it was a health issue I was told that "it could possible be". The whole animal control department needs an overhaul of people who truly care about animals and are willing to help an animal in need. I find too often as an animal lover that calling them in a time of need for an uncared for animal is fruitless. I have watched too many animals next door to my home die of neglect because they come out, sometimes, when called and say all is ok and a week later another dead dog. I can't tell you how many times this has happened. I hate to see someone loose their job....but maybe a complete overhaul of the department is necessary!
