Good morning everyone. It’s great to be alive and well and to be able to say all of the family is doing great! Last night’s meeting was very informative and on the surface what was offered looked good. I am not aware of every aspect of the Humane Society Of the United Sates and what goes on inside the organization, but am sure the Old Fella Burke County Animal Rescue will look very closely before committing to anything they have to offer.
Over the weekend there was a two year old child attacked by a Pit Bull tied to a tree in a wooded area of town. No one has claimed ownership of the dog and no one knows why the dog was tied out in a secluded area with no shelter, food or water. The dog was covered with scares and wounds as if it had been a fighting dog, so the local police took the dog into custody, holding him until it can be determined what should be done. This morning Bruce Storm, and I along with Cheryl McAuliff, the Georgia director of the Humane Society will meet with the Waynesboro Chief of Police. The Humane Society has offered to bring in a team to investigate the matter and prosecute any offender of the law.
Dog fighting in this area is one of the toughest crimes to prosecute as the local police and Sheriff’s department is short on money and personnel. Maybe the Humane Society can bring assistance to the County and help clean up a long existing problem.
