Coweta needs to

do more for cruelly abandoned dogs and cats

Re: Pet Dumping and abuse.

Why do people acquire pets, particularly dogs, and then after a few months

dump them out somewhere?

This irresponsible, cruel behavior should be equal to other criminal offenses

and punishable with heavy fines or jail time.}

While playing golf at White Oak [recently], we encountered two poor homeless

dogs, both having collar rings around neck where they had been removed

when the sorry owners dumped them. They were friendly, and followed us,

enjoying the attention and petting we offered.

What a shame, and you know the worst part - if they were taken to

the Coweta Death House (so called shelter), they will be put to sleep

within two weeks.

Coweta County is one of the fastest growing counties in the country and

can spends millions on industrial property, soccer field lights, and everything

else, but halfheartedly expanded the Cracker-Jack-box shelter with prison

labor and spare concrete blocks to get pressure off, not to construct

a modern functional facility keeping pace with our county's growth.

Maybe some of you out there will get compassionate or mad and get involved

with the Coweta County Human Society and Catfish to do something about

the plight of these poor creatures who can't help themselves.
