EXACTLY! And that's why we need a gov't run Humane Society. This non-profit we have here can kill an innocent animal with a syringe once they're brought in, but what happens in these situations? And that was a trained animal handler who wasn't able to handle the situation!
Here in Eden Roc you've got at least an hour an a half wait time for police presence, so you have to make sure you consider that BEFORE situations occur and plan accordingly. If: then.
A woman who lives just 2000' away, who has lived here for about 3 years and has never spoken to me except a wave when I'm working in the yard, stopped her car and asked me if I had seen her cat. Her voice was shaking and so was her hand a little. I think the grapevine (the chick on the bike from the Johhny story) told her that I have taken many animals to the humane society. I've had to capture/trap cats and dogs that are near death and ones that appear to be rabid.
If you don't have them tied up, the humane society won't even bother coming out!
I don't take people's pets to the pound.
Because our property is not completely fenced and we have a compost pile and free range chickens, abandoned animals tend to find our place. I've had to put a few down with my little 22 myself. That's ((((ed. It's like Mexico in that respect and I don't appreciate it.
