Feral dogs are a HUGE problem in the US, especially in the more populated areas where some PETA psycho is likely to sue you if they catch you shooting a group of feral dogs running a deer to death. They seem to think you're shooting Benji. Well, in this case Benji's bite's a LOT worse than his bark.
The PETA headquarters is also in Norfolk. One of the idiot morning show hosts on a local radio station was in a tizzy this morning because the police officers killed the dogs. She was especially disturbed because they used a shotgun and suggested that they call PETA to see if they thought it was ok.
