Detroit goes to the dogs
Daily Caller ^ | Aug 21, 2013 | Brendan Bordelon

As the human exodus from bankrupt Detroit picks up speed, packs of feral dogs are overrunning the city’s streets and abandoned buildings.

Bloomberg reports that as many as 50,000 canines prowl through the Motor City’s darkened roads and condemned houses, causing serious problems for the few people that remain.

“It was almost post-apocalyptic,” said Amanda Arrington of the Humane Society, who visited the city last October. “There are no businesses, nothing except people in houses and dogs running around.”

The threat of dog attacks have forced the Postal Service to temporarily halt delivery in certain neighborhoods. One mail carrier recalled using clouds of pepper spray to disperse swarms of small but savage hounds.

“It’s like Chihuahuaville,” she said.

One woman was attacked four months ago by two strays while sitting on her porch. The animals tore off the woman’s scalp during the assault.

Same here. Use it as a storyline for a new horror flick. Like “the Warriors” but this time, they’re running from killer dogs.

Only way I’d ever go into that hellhole would be with one of my Class III AR-15s or AR-10s, and plenty of mags.

Yes, roving packs of feral animals are a problem in Detroit. And Newark. And Gary.

Ever see the series “Life After Humans”?

The Poodles, Pugs and other ornamental dogs go almost immediately.

The world is run by the working breeds.

Kewl.

;D

Those are great for the two legged predators but for the dog packs I'm thinking a 10 gauge shotgun might be preferable.

Dogs don't bother me. Find a high vantage point and pick them off.

In the opening show of Low Winter Sun on AMC , the lead character Left his immaculate lawned two story house for work. The camera panned across the street to two houses falling apart and the third in very bad shape.

As he turned to drive up the street he met a coyote with a large rat in it’s mouth trotting towards him in the other lane

Bah.

I’d “go native” and become leader of the packs.

I’ve heard about this a long time ago. Coyotes are also running with the dogs there.
