“I don’t understand the fascination with that breed”
Anne Vickery, Kendall County Board Chairman and chairman of the Animal Control Committee
Yorkville — Kendall County Animal Control has an overcrowding problem that could mean an unpopular operational change.
--------
That could mean a change in the shelter’s current “low-kill” operation.
-------
Vickery said (a part of the) problem is that many animals at the shelter are “unadoptable” because they are mean or cannot be around other animals.
-------
She singled out the breed of American pit bull terrier, or dogs with that in a mix, as a major culprit.
-------
She said 60 to 70 percent of the dogs in the facility are some kind of pit bull, and they keep coming in.
