Dog bites firefighter who rescued him from a river (click here for the story!)

Read the story and then you tell me why we should accept this sort of liability in Crestwood? I for one do not want our Police or firefighters injured because we failed to call St. Louis County Animal control.

Yes I said St. Louis County animal control! They have very well trained professionals, we have a "hobby group" dedicated to animal adoption that cost's us a fortune every year!

May we please face the fact that this is one of the most irresponsible things we have ever done in Crestwood ( possible litigation, possible personal injury,) or are our elected "leaders" more worried about votes than the safety of our first responders, as well as our budget?

We now know that the "ad hoc" committee on animal control plans to make no recommendation to the full board, so why waste the time, and further exposure? Ladies and Gentlemen of the Board, please do what you were elected to do and VOTE on this wasteful expense and useless exposure NOW!
