Joe stated his concern was the time frame it took from initial call until the animal was picked up. Jeenie's reply was that the humane society would not pickup the dog unless it was contained either by an officer or in a garage and ordered from the police department.

He then asked the members, that were present at the field meeting, to comment. Amy said she thought it was unacceptable the way it was.
