They may be small and cute, but packs of stray Chihuahuas have been wreaking havoc on the streets of Phoenix, Arizona.

Maricopa County Animal Care and Control says last year alone it received 6,000 calls from the Maryvale section of Phoenix about abandoned Chihuahuas roaming the streets in the neighborhood and scaring children.

‘We compared the number of calls we got in 2013 from that area to similar areas in town and the calls from Maryvale were three times higher than surrounding areas,’ said Melissa Gable with MCACC. ‘Part of it is these animals aren’t spayed or neutered, so they’re out looking for a mate and are having babies, which also contributes to the problem.’

Importing Burmese Pythons from Florida might do the trick, if you can get rid of the pythons when the dogs are gone.

Our high desert gorillas will probably be lured down to the city by them. They consider python a delicacy.

Using a plastic water bottle. I drill a hole in a rubber plug the diameter of the barrel and the stopper is the size that fits the plastic bottle. Works pretty good. There are other kinds my dad showed me. The BATF can go pound sand.

"Chihuahuas are the meanest, most ill-tempered dogs on the planet."

WTF? Could you walk that back a bit and say you meant Pit Bulls are?

This is a sick thread!

Yes, it is, it's a typical one for the Freepers who like to thump their chests and tell how they'll use their firearms against 10-lb. animals. Can't you just smell the testosterone in the air?

They turn my stomach.

This is the news I have been waiting for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have said in the past on pitbull attack news threads that I am waiting to hear about people being attacked by a pack of vicious, feral chihuahuas!

This HAS to be a parody news item.

No matter how absurd I get with my expectations or future headlines of the Left, or in this case dogs, they come true!

I must be dreaming or something...

Aguila sub sonic ammo works in some autos.

Aguila makes 60 gr subsonic. My remmington is only 38gr. Have to try some if I can ever buy it again.

Yes, I know that Great Danes are not mean. I was saying that Chihuahuas are mean. I had a lapse of memory and could not think of, ‘Doberman Pinschers’. ;-)

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

Pit Bulls and Chihuahuas are mean. How’s that? ;-)

I hear there are great career opportunities in law enforcement.

WOOOF!

The Doggie Ping list is for FReepers who would like to be notified of threads relating to all things canid. If you would like to join the Doggie Ping Pack (or be unleashed from it), FReemail me.

We have one and she’s a holy terror. The pitbull next door gets out once in awhile and approaches our gate fot a treat. Coco charges the gate and the Pitty drops and gives her 10. :-)

I'm ready....

[BenLurkin]

Why not just a good air rifle?

[the OlLine Rebel]

I hope this isn't like the hysterical French who thought a loose lost cat was a ferocious cougar years back.

Fiocchi 38gr subsonics cycle in a 10/22

Suppressed Ruger 22

I stand corrected. My .22 semi-auto and my subsonic don’t like each. I was told it was a common problem. Evidently other ammo and other rifles work.

No one needs an ASSAULT LAWNMOWER when two common knives will do! Works well on zombies.

Chihuahuas are nothing compared to stampeding wiener dogs:
