It is sometimes overwhelming when scouts and representatives from Major League baseball teams call the house at night and ask how I would feel about playing ball for them. The experience of playing professional baseball is every Little Leaguer's dream. Scott was no exception. This song is not about animals, but it does illustrate that the uncontrolled animal population is puzzling pet owners and county residents. In Madison County, the animal population has exploded and it has many residents worried about the safety and happiness of their pets.
Every year there are hundreds of stray animals dropped around the county.
Owners or caretakers of these animals feel they cannot be responsible for them any longer or do not have the means to feed and care for them properly. They consider killing the animals to be inhumane and a distasteful act. However, they do not see dropping animals out of a house or in the middle of nowhere or along a back road to be an inhumane act. Madison County is in need of an animal shelter. Stray animals have nowhere to go and can rarely help themselves.
