News from the Kansas City Kansan reports that Animal Control is losing the fight to control the city's animal problem, and needs another $600,000.00 to expand its facilities.

In 2004, animal control in Kansas City, Kansas, euthanized 2,306 dogs and 1,106 cats, representing a kill rate of 77 percent. Another $85,000.00 is needed to buy a mobile spay/neuter clinic.

"We've got packs of wild dogs running around town," according to Jack Jones, the supervisor at one of the facilities. "We need those funds, and we need it as soon as possible."
