Violence
My home is in a very rural area in the US with no spay/neuter laws or animal control. It is also down a road that is the local traditional dumping ground for unwanted animals. We have our dogs, cats, and poultry here in a fenced area. Generally, strays can be chased off by shooting roman candles in their general direction. However, some are persistant. I’m looking for a workable alternative to feeding stubburn strays a cheeseburger before shooting the stray in the back of the head.
I cannot start fostering dogs for the same reason I cannot buy legos. It would get out of control. Also, I’d rather not burdon someone else with taking these dogs away to cage them for a few weeks before killing them.
This sucks.
that is suitably depressing. I wish I had an answer but your “solution” is rather expedient… yes, you could rehome them but an individual shouldnt have to shoulder that burden, that’s a local government issue. but, without animal control enforcement…
Trying to rehome strays here is like selling irrigation equipment in Seattle. People try and their backyards are full of crates or a grid of small runs.
that is an excellent analogy.
