LITTLE ROCK – Mayor James Valley of Helena-West Helena says he has no problem with dogs or other animals. He just believes that strays in his east Arkansas town are better off in nearby national forest than the local animal shelter.

The city's animal shelter was so run down a regional humane society worker cut the locks last winter and released all the dogs, the mayor said. The city then moved the operation to a temporary fenced-in area outdoors at the city sanitation department.

Still, people complained that the animals were not properly cared for at the temporary quarters, so the mayor decided the dogs would be better off fending for themselves in the St. Francis National Forest.

Valley said the city street director released about 10 dogs into the forest Wednesday after the animals were fed and watered. About three dogs were kept to be put down by a veterinarian, he said.

So now they will have wild dogs running around and what do wild dogs do? Go to food. Where is food? Town. Using the transitive property, ummmm the dogs wind up back in town just a little more skiddish and dangerous. No wait, that's bad.

You think that's dumb? I know people who let their hamsters free in a park. They pretend like they're letting them "free into the wild" when in reality they are abandoning them.

The family refused to admit that their hamsters had no chance.

If I were the dog, I'd think this is a great idea!

Sorry, but any time I hear guinea pigs mentioned I have to tell this joke....

Little Italian boy says to his Grandpa, "Hey Grandpa, can I have 10 bucks to buy a Guinea pig?" Grandpa pulls out his wallet and says "Here's a $20, get yourself a nice Italian girl."
