Open Season for Butte Dogs Brings Cruelty Debate
Butte launches dog license season from May to September amid a debate over catching methods. The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals seeks a net method as less cruel than lassoing, but nets are not yet secured from other cities. Massachusetts and Boston reports suggest hand catching with gloves, opposed by city dog officials who fear staff shortages and prefer existing drowning as an easy execution for unreclaimed dogs.
