Resident urges review of animal control and police response to dog attacks

Concerns over animal control and public safety took center stage at the Flower Mound Town Council meeting on July 7, 2025. A resident voiced frustration over the town's handling of dangerous dogs, recounting a personal experience where he was charged by aggressive dogs, leading to injuries. He highlighted a troubling incident where the police were called, but due to the absence of animal control, the officer could not intervene effectively.

The resident expressed embarrassment for the lack of preparedness shown by officials when addressing these issues, stating, "He was embarrassingly unprepared, could not answer simple questions." This sentiment underscored a broader concern about the coordination between the animal control office and the police department.

In light of these incidents, the resident urged the council to thoroughly review local ordinances and improve the relationship between animal control and law enforcement. The call for action reflects a growing demand for enhanced public safety measures and better management of animal-related incidents in the community. As discussions continue, residents are hopeful for a more proactive approach to prevent future occurrences.
