Bay City Mayor Robert Nelson has highlighted the issue of stray dogs and the danger they may pose to the city’s children. Officials at the council meeting last Tuesday night say they are working to address the problem, but there are no easy solutions. Unfortunately, the Animal Control impound is very small, and there is not enough space for all the animals. The city has several animal ordinances, including the leash law and not allowing animals to run at large on streets, sidewalks, alleys, parks, or private properties. They have recently hired another animal control employee to mitigate the staff shortage.
