Description:
As the coal-based economy in eastern Kentucky declines, petty crime has increased, and many people have acquired guard dogs to protect their belongings. This presentation will focus on the treatment of these animals and the animal over-population issues in the coalfields. A new program designed to help chained backyard dogs in Appalachia will be presented along with other solutions that can relieve animal suffering.
