Here in St. Louis, we recently had a child killed by a pack of feral dogs... And my neighborhood, which is adjacent to a large park, is subject to 'em... College kids at Washington University (which tends to get kids from New Yawrk and Lawn Guyland who couldn't get into a real school...) get pets, and then when they go home, they dump 'em... They've even had problems at the zoo with 'em running down the animals...

I ran up against a pack of six or eight last summer, about two in the morning... Ended up backing slowly into my apartment complex with a spyder knife out and ready - I figured I could gut at least one of 'em... Scared the hell outta me... Misery doesn't allow CCW, so I've since gone and got a big ol' can of bear spray...
