Are Packs of Wild Dogs Roaming the North Side Of St. Louis?
[CBS] Ten years after a fourth-grade boy was attacked and nearly eaten alive by wild dogs in north St. Louis, city leaders are scrambling to make sure it doesn't happen again.
Ten years isn't scrambling. Ten years isn't even a casual stroll. | Aldermanic President Lewis Reed is sounding the alarm.
Stage direction: alarms sound in the distance offstage. | "Alarm! Alarm!"
"Hark! In the distance! An alarm! It blaats!"
"Cheez, Louie, knock it off, it's been ten years already!" | "I've witnessed packs of dogs, 10 and 15 dogs running together, and I've seen all these dogs I'm talking about they don't have collars, they don't have tags, these are truly wild dogs," he said.
Reed says stray dogs are terrorizing the north side. "It's obscene that parents have to walk their kids to school, in some parts of the city, with a golf club to fend off wild dogs."
They hire sharpshooters to reduce urban deer populations, right? |
