Stray Dog Attacks Spark Action in Gadsden

0:00From the Daily News Now Network, this is Birmingham News Today. Residents near Nakalula Falls in Gadsden, Alabama are fed up with packs of stray dogs roaming their neighborhoods and causing harm. Recent attacks include a child getting bitten and a nursing cat being malted death by several dogs right outside a homeowner's driveway. Police Lieutenant Ford highlighted that these dogs often have collars showing their pets neglected by owners rather than true wild animals. The department caught the biggest dog from one pack after the child's incident and is handling it through proper channels. Locals like Rachel Farley are voicing strong frustration, saying they want their community safe and their concerns taken seriously. As lifelong residents, they're pushing for accountability so no one else suffers from irresponsible pet ownership. A big issue is that many incidents go unreported to police and end up only on social media, delaying real action. Locals note that county animal shelters overcrowded, worsened by too few owners spaying or neutering their pets.

They aim to curb the stray problem and protect kids and animals moving forward.
