COUNTY DOG WARDEN Jack Bruce’s experiment with chemical warfare came a bust, and the Supervisors have told him to be careful about “putjfeing^down right away” stray dogs that can’t be caught. Bruce brought up the question at the March 7 meeting of the Supervisors. “If I see dogs could I put’em down right there, without getting ahold of them?” he asked of the Board. Commonwealth’s Attorney George Davis said he didn’t think this would be proper. “You have to hold them five days before you can put them down,” added Supervisor Pete Luke. "He’s concerned about the ones he can’t catch,” explained Chairman Newbill Miller. “But I believe what he’s asking could have tremendous ^repercussions. It is not legal to put a dog down like that unless he’s harming livestock or something like that.” Supervisor H. B. Wood wondered if Warden Bruce might not use a chemical, to at least immobilize stray dogs and help him catch them.
“I tried it in Mr. Buntin’s yard, and the dog carried the whole thing away,” reported Jack Bruce. “I haven’t seen him yet.”
Bruce added that while he had no claims for the March meeting, it looked like he’d have a lot to report next month about “trouble up in Harris Hollow. ”□
