wilkes

I don't think the animal zoo would work. The median household income in wilkes is $49,000. 19% of individuals are in poverty. There are about 27,000 households. I bet half don't pay taxes. Think of the amount of workers it would take to care for animals and their food and care.

Wonder when we'll have FRESH politicians?
Same group,over and over and over.
It's like a club,you take this spot.
Now...everybody do a rendition. Of political(musical) chairs.
GO LOOK. See what I see?

I think Harris will try. She is trying to control food prices and will cause a food shortage that has happened in other countries.

Serious, start a zoo for dogs, cats and other animals. We get a bill every year like property tax. The zoo is free for all to come. Tax everyone enough to buy land, big fenced in areas for dogs. How much are we willing to pay for a zoo. I think 500 a year for all property owners. Have full time veterinarian for zoo. I would be very happy paying for one. The commissioners can't help all those animals. We all will need to help. Big arse problem. Get rid of the kill center, start a wild life zoo. That is the only way in our society. People complain about cats, its sad. Crazy world we living in. I'm a animal lover, all of them.

We now have a shortage of veterinarians. I do not know why. I guess just like doctors, we do not have enough. Prices for their services is outrageous just like our increases in insurance premiums, interest rates, food, utilities. A friend said her dog check up visit was $400. Even my doctor does not charge that much.

When I was growing up the animals ran free. Today people think animals should be inside 24/7. Animals need to be outside like we do. Big dogs should only be with people with lots of land. You shouldn't be allow big dogs unless you have land for them to roam. I know people that call animal control for all kinds of animals.We are the problem also. Also vets are getting way to expensive, thanks joe/harris. Then the shots, flea control, etc. They should tax us to take care of these animals, make a pet zoo for dogs, cats, racoons, etc. Tax everyone to take care of animals at a zoo. No more killing animals.

In my opinion, Randleman, Johnson and Sexton had a negative reaction. They agreed to continue talking with this group, but it seemed that they were all about who keeps control. The letter said the Best Friends paid worker would have a leadership role. I don't think they liked that. Please watch it for yourself to see if you agree with me or them.

FYI I've adopted 3 dogs and 2 cats but you bleeding hearts missed my point. There needs to be more responsible people who takes care of their animals. IE don't let them roam freely IE take them to the vet the list can go on. You're right it's not the dogs it's irresponsible owners who idk for what ever reason wants the animal but can't keep up with it once they own it.

I am for having animals but if you let your animal roam free then don't complain when they get injured or picked up be responsible enough to take care of your pet.

Another fact: Democracts killing innocent babies. Don't forget about it!

interesting fact, which commissioners had a negative attitude about control of the shelter?

Here's an interesting fact. Why isn't anyone adopting the animals better yet why are there any responsible owners of the animals. Many times the "responsible" owners just let them roam the neighborhood without care to their neighbors and animals.

For years there have been incidents like this when animals were not given the 72 hours.

Someone needs to mention the #1 award that goes to the Wilkes county and the Wilkes Animal Shelter. For 2 years, Wilkes county killed the most animals out of 75 other shelters. 4 other years, Wilkes was # 2. Wilkes animal shelter killed over 2800 animals in 2023. This is a disgrace to this county.
