LOGAN (AP) — City officials in northern Utah say they'll meet with residents concerned about animal welfare after a split with the local humane society left the city of Logan without an animal shelter.
The Herald Journal reports a crowd of about 30 people came to a Tuesday city council meeting to voice frustration and concern.
Resident David James says he's worried about the possibility that a loose dog could be killed if there's no place to house it.
