Animal Abuse/stray problem in Dallas

[Catherine]

You can read the article without looking at the pictures.
Dallas has a dog problem. There are dogs loose on the streets causing trouble.
Dallas also has a problem with people dumping dead dogs in an area, and other dead animals as well. Some of these animals are clearly abused, but no charges have been laid.
Very likely there is a dog fighting issue with some of the dead animals.
There is a real problem with strays on the streets, Some of them are aggressive towards people.

If I understand the Dallas Animal Services response, they have hired more staff and they are giving people tickets for unvaccinated dogs and things like that. Those  dogs have owners. They are not the problem.
It seems to me they have missed the point. There are people out there dumping dead dogs. Some of them are probably involved in dog fighting. That is what they should be going after.

Instead of ticketing a dog owner they should be rescuing dogs out on the street.

They should be investigating the abuse cases.
Isn't that what they are supposed to do?
