Trust me it will make it into the suburbs and some city areas.
It’s a good point to consider because if we ever have a real big SHTF moment, roving dog packs are going to be a real problem people will have to be prepared for dealing with.
Obama economy fails, dogs hardest hit.
I’m rural. I haven’t seen any dog packs. If they did exist we’d take care of them the old-fashioned way.
I once lived on a 300+ acre farm not too far away from a Big Ten university. I used to dread the end of the school year. Students would just dump their pets out in the country before moving out of town.
It’s not just dogs in the rural areas;two people we know locally have had horses dropped off in their barns in the middle of the night.One person left a note stating that they could no longer afford to feed the horse and asked that the barn owner would have compassion and take care of the animal.
It is.
Aye, Dog is a fine meal.
I can remember back in the late 70’s the packs of dogs that ran rampant through the country side, and my father going out to shoot some of them. We were always warned to be careful when we went out into the woods to play. I brought my .22, of course.
1) If feral dog packs are roaming your neighborhood, you need to keep your dear pet inside, otherwise fluffy will die a grisly death and be eaten. I certainly wouldn't want that to happen to anyone's pet.
2) Easy way to deal with feral dog packs, without having to "go hunting" -- put out a tub of antifreeze to slake their thirst.
NO, this is ALREADY a problem in Detroit and East St. Louis.
I saw a TV show a few months back where packs of dogs were roaming and living in abandonded houses in both these cities. I beleive it was on Monsterquest. Most of the dogs were mixed breeds from Pit Bull Terriers and Rotweillers.
Your basic urban breed favorites.
It already has been a major problem around here. My FIL had to start walking with a gun because of the packs of wild dogs that had cornered him near his hay barn. He is really only 10 minutes out of town and only has 28 acres but they really are becoming a danger fast and they have attacked in the past.
I’ve seen the occasional dumped dog in my area. Usually some banger from Albuquerque drops his pitbull by the side of the road.
My neighbor rescued a tiny dog from the side of the highway. We called him Scruffy (he was!) and he was king of the neighborhood within a month.
My dogs are let out late at night for their last doing their business. I keep my eyes on them all the time, mostly concerned with a coyote attack; seems now that a dog pack could be a concern.
Unlike most posters, being a confirmed canine-lover, I really could not bring myself to shoot either coyote or dog but I usually bring a pistol with me onto the porch to fire to scare them away. Only if one had hold of one of my dogs would I fire at the animal.
have you been pinged yet?
