A
Welcome
to
aiken
this
week,
I
memory
Langston
today,
I'm
being
joined
by
members
of
aiken
public
safety,
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
animal
control,
I'm
being
joined
by
lieutenant
Carl
odenthal
public
on
public
safety
officer,
Allen,
willing
and
environmental
control
officer
with
Chris
Weathersby,
and,
thank
you
all
so
much
for
being
here
today.
We're
very
glad
to
have
you
talk
about
a
very
important
subject
that
I
know
that
you'll
get
lots
of
questions
about
all
the
time,
but
first
to
get
started.
A
B
A
Good
very
good:
well
again,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
today.
I
know
that,
with
with
animal
control,
we
work
with
several
entities
across
our
community
dealing
with
animal
issues.
Can
you
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
about
our
partnership
with
our
different
organizations
and
and
who
our
main
partner
is
and
how
that
works?.
C
Okay,
we
did
with
many
different
agencies
throughout
the
city
and
county
area.
We
work
with
County
Animal
Control,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
donut
holes
so
called
to
where
the
streets
one
side,
the
street,
maybe
City
one
side,
the
street,
maybe
County.
So
we
work
hand-in-hand
with
them.
We
work
with
SPCA
we're
contracted
with
them
for
that's
where
all
of
our
strays
go
to.
We
deal
with
DHEC
on
dog
bite
cases,
cat
scratch
cases
anything
like
that.
So
we
have
many
different
agencies
throughout
the
city
that
we
do
work
hand-in-hand
with.
A
C
Is
correct,
the
county
has
their
own
shelter
that
is
funded
through
the
county.
All
their
phones
come
through
the
county.
They
have
volunteer
organizations
work
with
them
with
us,
we're
we
rent
space
per
se
through
the
SPCA
we
contract.
They
take
all
of
our
strays
and
work
with
us
on
our
spay
and
neutering
through
their
surgical
clinic
and
all
so.
That's
how
the
difference
between
so
it
depends
on
the
location
of
where
the
animal
comes
from
as
to
what
what
building
it
may
be.
C
A
Places
right
sure,
sure,
well,
I
know
this
division
stays
very
busy
to
ensure
that
y'all,
the
good
information
is
getting
out
to
our
citizens
to
be
responsible
pet
owners
getting
that
education
out.
So
now
what
we
do
with
injured
animals,
so
I
think
that
a
question
that
y'all
would
probably
get
a
whole
bunch
was.
What
do
I
do
if
I
see
a
stray
dog
or
strike
at
you.
A
All
right
very
good,
so
what
should
another
question
that
I
think
would
probably
come
to
the
forefront
of
your
mind
is
what
do
I
do
if
there's
an
unwanted
animal,
whether
it's,
unfortunately
in?
If
sometimes
there
has
to
be
a
surrender
of
animals
or
there's
an
animal
in
my
neighborhood
that
nobody
seems
to
claim
and
it's
kind
of
an
unwanted
situation?
What
do
city
residents
do
in
that
type
of
situation?
Well,.
E
B
What
we
don't
want
you
to
do
is
just
if
you
have
an
animal
that
you
don't
want
anymore,
don't
just
throw
it
out.
We've
had
some
cases
where
people
just
toss
them
out
of
cars
or
or
leave
them
at
somewhat
front
of
somebody
else's
door
or
just
release
them.
I
mean
that's,
that's
for
us!
That's
the
worst
thing
you
could
do.
The
best
thing
to
do
is
go
ahead
and
same
thing.
B
C
That's
the
sit
you
can
or
depending
on
what
location
you
may
live
in,
whatever
your
closest,
humane,
just
humane
shelter
is
to,
you
know,
find
it
a
good
home,
don't
don't
just
leave
it
abandon
somewhere
after
the
struggle
for
food.
You
know
we
we
have
places,
you
know,
collie
the
public
safety,
Animal
Control
for
the
county
or
SPCA
and
I'm.
A
D
This
picked
up
is
taken
to
the
SPCA
and
from
there
it
goes
to
one
of
the
locations
in
there,
whether
it's
a
CAD
or
whether
it's
a
dog
and
then,
if
we
have
a
microchip
owner,
we
have
any
further
information.
We
can
get
in
contact
with
the
owner
or
we
can
look
through
different
resources,
try
to
locate
the
owner
and,
if
not,
then
as
possible
to
go
for
adoption.
If
there's
spayed/neutered.
A
D
E
C
The
updated
a
lot
of
times
people
will
change
an
address
or
a
phone
number
and
forget
to
update
the
microchip
number
information.
So
that's
where
we
run
into
a
lot
of
times.
We
can't
find
the
owner
is
because
they
have
either
moved
or
changed
phone
services
and
did
not
update
that
information.
So
now
you
have
a
family
member
at
the
shelter,
that's
looking
for
home
and
we
can't
get
back
and.
B
The
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
to
Emory.
If
we
have
time
is,
is
when
we
bring
the
animals
in.
We
do
an
evaluation
on
the
animal
to
see
whether
or
not
it
is
an
adoptable.
You
know
if
it's
a
violent
animal
or
has
violent
tendencies,
we
obviously
want
to
make
sure
it's
going
to
be
safe
in
someone's
home
that
adopts
it.
B
A
C
C
So,
like
said
with
a
number
of
traps
and
a
number
of
people
in
the
city,
sometimes
it
can
build
a
lengthy
and
that's
where
we
ask
you
know
to
to
please
you
know
just
be
patient
week.
You
are
on
the
list
and
we
will
get
to
you
it's
just.
It
may
take
up
a
little
bit
before
we
get
to
you.
We
do
have
regulations
set
for
the
trapping,
we
don't
set
the
traps
less
than
40
degrees
outside
and
when
the
temperatures
reach
above
100.
C
So
within
that
range
we
will
trap,
but
we
also
take
care
of
the
wellbeing
for
the
the
animal
of.
If
it's
30
degrees
outside,
we
don't
want
it
in
a
trap
all
night
to
become
back
and
check
trap.
So
we
we
do
regulate
it
with
that.
We're
coming
up
some
of
that
you
know
with
the
winter
months.
Oh,
so
that's
going
to
kind
of
damper
some
of
our
trapping,
but
still
we
do
have
a
dog
traps.
Also,
if
we
cannot
catch
the
dog,
we
can't
set
traps.
C
If
it
you
know,
depending
on
the
location,
we
prefer
to
have
kind
of
where
the
dog
comes
back
to
where
it
feels
comfortable.
When
we
set
the
trap,
because
that's
where
it's
going
around
it,
if
people
see
one
just
stroll
through
their
yard
and
don't
see
it
again,
it's
not
much
need
to
set
a
trap
very
he's
just
passing
through.
So
it's
as
much
information
to
somebody
can
give
us
as
far
as
where
dog
stays
where
they
see
it
hanging
out
mostly
end
of
times
that
actually
helps
narrow
down
as
to
when
we
can
get.
A
C
Wildlife,
we
prefer
to
send
back
to
either
a
private
contractor
or
pest
control.
Okay,
we
deal
with
the
domesticated.
Now
we
have
come
across
some
situations
where
people
set
their
own
traps
and
we'll
catch
raccoons
and
possums,
and
you
can
call
public
safety
for
that.
We
do
pick
those
traps
up,
but
we
specifically
would
rather
keep
the
wildlife
in
a
more
towards
the
private
contractors
and
pesticide
people
a
compressed
control
or
some
places.
You
know
that
dude
sorry.
A
D
E
D
C
C
We
carried
the
that
incident
report
to
DHEC
if
its
wildlife
DHEC
will
tested
for
rabies
if
its
current
on
rabies
and
has
the
shots
and
everything
then
they're
going
to
put
a
10-day
quarantine
hold
on
it,
which
you
know
that
just
is
a
monitoring
process
for
whether
anything
happens
to
the
bike
or
anything
different
happens
to
the
animal
and
the
people
you
know
still
can
get
what
matter.
The
medical
condition
conditions
are
needed,
taking
care
of
the
bikes,
looked
at
scratch,
looked
at
monitored
and
all
that.
That's
all
that
ten
day
processes.
A
D
E
C
A
I'm
sure
that,
probably
when,
when
you're
dealing
with
bites
and
you're
talking
about
the
quarantine
process
that
folks
have
animals
that
are
strictly
outside,
they
have
animals
that
are
indoor/outdoor
than
they
have
animals
that
are
that
are
inside,
and
even
if
it's
a
situation
where
it's
an
inside
animal,
you
know.
For
the
most
part,
we
have
to
follow
those
guidelines,
because
those
are
state
regulation.
A
D
Right
here,
any
animal
that
you
have
dog
or
cat
needs
to
be
registered
through
either
records
at
Public,
Safety
headquarters
or
through
the
SPCA,
and
that
information
gets.
Does
that
way
we
will
be
able
to
know.
You
know
how
many
dogs
are
at
the
property
who
owns
them
and
that
that
helps
everyone
that
way,
animals
lost
may
have
a
description
of
it.
Oris
microchip.
D
A
A
C
C
We
can
check
that
number
through
our
records
if
the
animal
gets
off
of
your
property,
for
whatever
reason
we
can
get
it
back
to
you
as
well
I
mean
we
basically
have
two
things:
the
microchip,
as
well
as
the
city,
registration,
so
spay
and
neutering,
is
something
we
do
recognize
and
kind
of
promote,
because
it
does
help
any
unwanted
animals
beside
the
roadways
and
all,
if
does
get
out.
So
we
do
coming
in
a
push
for
and
spay
and
neuter.
B
And
if
I
could
Emery
the
one
of
the
interesting
things
when
we
were
talking
about
some
of
these
topics
at
a
recent
neighborhood
meeting,
there's
a
lot
of
Aiken
residents
that
didn't
realize
they
had
to
register
their
their
animals
and
as
far
as
the
spay
or
neuter
eng.
We
especially
want
to
emphasize
that
for
cats,
because
they
they
have
a
tendency
to
be
outside
and
go
a
little
bit
further
and
wander
from
their
property.
In
a
lot
of
cases.
B
E
A
Getting
that
word
out,
I
know
it's
important
in
part
of
the
education
process
that
you'll
like
to
promote
in
the
division
and
I'm
sure
that
if
the
opportunity
presented
itself
Chris
scroll,
you
just
said
it
a
neighborhood
meeting.
If
there
were
other
neighborhood
meetings
going
on
or
anything
like
that,
that
any
one
of
you,
gentlemen,
would
be
glad
to
attend
a
meeting
to
help
get
the
word
out
about
the.
B
A
D
Animals
have
to
be
restrained
by
some
sort
of
means,
whether
that
means
if
it's
on
your
property
has
to
be
in
a
fenced-in
area.
Things
like
that,
if
it's
off
the
property
has
to
be
on
a
leash,
the
only
exception
is
the
service
animal
though
so,
basically,
if
you're
walking
your
dog
down
the
street
you're
jogging
with
it
has
to
be
on
a
leash,
has
to
be
under
your
control
at
all
times
and
that
just
helps
everyone.
No
one
wants.
D
B
Is
that
is
an
instance
where
we've
we've
actually
made
charges
where
someone
has
failed
to
restrain
their
animal,
and
so
it
ends
up
a
child
getting
bit
some
kid
riding
his
bike.
Buying
the
dog,
chases
I
mean
some.
You
just
have
to
have
control
your
animal
and
sometimes
that
really
helps
out
just
having
that
leash
right.
A
B
Are
surprisingly,
some
calls
that
we
do
get
in
our
dispatch?
Some
will
claim
they
have
a
bat
bats
in
their
attic
and
they're
wanting
us
to
come
out
and
get
it
or
same
thing.
Armadillos
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
a
whole
lot
about
them,
but
evidently
they
can
really
mess
up
somebody's
yard.
So
so,
when
that
starts
happening,
people
have
been
calling
us
and
not
the
fur,
to
Alan
on
this
one
with.
C
You
know
like
lieutenant
was
saying
the
bats
their
gang.
We
go
back
to
a
contractor
or
a
nuisance
removal.
We
do
not
come
inside
of
your
residents
to
remove
bats
and
stuff
from
the
attic
and
with
armadillos.
They
are
coming
into
this
area
more
and
more,
and
what
you're,
starting
to
see
an
armadillo
will
find
mostly
like
up
under
shrubbery
bushes
hedges,
tight
and
dig
a
hole
and
make
it
its
den.
They
will
come
out.
C
They
look
for
grubs,
worms
and
stuff,
and
that's
what
a
lot
of
people
with
grasses
they'll
come
out
and
see
where
something's
flip
the
grass
up.
That's
what
he's
doing
was
going
looking
for
vomits
up
under
the
grass,
but
we
do
not
deal
with
the
armadillos
because
there
again
that's
coming
to
wildlife,
so
we're
staying
away
from
those
with
the
traps
that
we
have.
C
We
it's
a
little
bit
harder
to
catch
them
in
our
traps
that
we
use.
So
that
would
be
another
line
of
traps
that
we
have
to
have
Ford
armadillos.
So
we
just
we've
tried
to
to
stay
away
from
the
wildlife
with
that,
but
you
can
still
call
for
you
know
the
pesticide
best
control
people's
or
your
nuisance,
wildlife
removal,
animals
right.
E
C
E
A
C
C
Basically,
deals
with
community
cats
and
a
community
cat
is
a
cat
that
maybe
all
the
neighbors,
feed
or
just
lives
around
a
dumpster
does
not
really
have
a
home,
but
still
does
some
good
in
the
community
as
far
as
taking
care
of
rodents
squirrels,
which
are
all
over
the
city.
So
what
we
do
a
lot
of
our
calls
will
come
in
for
a
nuisance
cat.
We
will
trap
the
cat
we
care
to
the
SPCA
and
it
either
get
spayed
or
neutered
and
then
return
back
to
the
area.
C
The
studies
have
shown
that
when
you
pull
a
cat
out
of
a
community
colony,
the
another
stray
will
move
in
and
who
knows
what
he
brings
back,
whether
it's
a
disease
or
whether
he
is
fertile
Lincoln,
you
know,
do
more
breathing
and
the
colony
grows
even
more.
As
long
as
you
put
that
one
cat
back
in
a
group
of
cats
will
keep
a
straight
out,
they
only
want
what
are
their
family
members,
what
they
trust,
so
they
will
keep
others
away
from
there.
C
C
So
with
that
program
we
partnered
with
the
SPCA,
they
do
the
surgeries,
we
bring
them
in
with
the
traps
they
do
the
surgeries
and
then
we
return
them
back
to
the
areas
and
so
far
we've
had
nothing
but
positive
feedback.
The
one
thing
that
a
lot
of
people-
don't
we
tip
the
ear
and
that
just
lets
us
know
that
that
cat
has
been
spayed
or
neutered.
If
it
gets
back
in
the
trap,
we
don't
have
to
go
back
through
the
whole
process
of
carrying
it
into
surgery,
getting
it
ready
for
surgery
and
then
find
out.
C
It's
already
been
taken
care
of.
So
that's
the
only
difference
you
would
see,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
neighborhood
and
community
leaders
around
here
that
take
care
of
TNR
cats.
So
it's
it's
actually
helped.
I
mean
as
far
as
what
calls
have
come
in
to
what
we've
received
of
our
calls.
As
far
as
complaints
and
helping
the
cat
community
itself
was.
C
C
Is
we
actually
when
we
were
looking
into
it?
We
got
with
Columbia,
has
been
doing
it.
Spartanburg
is
a
very,
very
big
user
of
it
and
Spartanburg
within
about
two
years.
There
call
volumes
have
dropped
drastically
for
for
their
complaints
on
cats
and
they've
had
all
kind
of
programs
that
came
in
to
help
build
like
boy
scout
groups
have
come
in
and
built
community
colony
cathouses
for
certain
areas,
so
you've
actually
had
other
organizations
throughout
your
city
that
come
together
and
help.
It's
not
just
you
know
animal
control
or
just
you
know
the
TNR
program.
A
B
Just
want
to
mention
one
thing
that
if
you
could
I
know
we're
thinking
about
doing
a
show
on
it
later,
but
februari
is
spay
and
neuter
month
and
we're
going
to
partner
with
the
SPCA
and
we're
going
to
do
a
clinic
probably
going
to
host
it
at
the
SPCA,
and
you
know
just
to
help
people
register
in
and
spay
and
neuter
their
animals.
Just
just
an
awareness
and
a
push
towards
that
good
to
provide
those
opportunities
for
people
come.
Do
it
sure.
A
