Dozens of pit bulls seized in dogfighting investigations have bitten
workers at an animal shelter and generally behaved so badly that
visitors are warned away from their cages. Most of the 72 dogs bark
furiously at visitors, propelling their muscled bodies against cage
bars and grabbing hold of coats of passers-by, said Mark Kumpf,
director of the Montgomery County Animal Control Center. The dogs
were confiscated in raids by police, starting in July. The animals
have been housed by the county at a cost to taxpayers of about $60,000
as the cases go through the courts.
Several workers at the animal center have been bitten, mostly breaking
up fights between the dogs when they are removed from cages for
cleaning or exercise, Kumpf said. Some dogs shred the hard plastic
flooring in their cages, destroy drain covers and tear water bowls off
the wall. Barriers are attached to several cages so the dog inside
won't be driven to a frenzy by the sight of another dog.
