Bugsy Williamsburg Animal Control (Wayne Perkins) Kills Dog It Was Called To Help Reporter: Gabriel Roxas, Email Address: Gabriel.Roxas@wkyt.com When a stray dog befriended workers at some Williamsburg businesses, the animal lovers thought they were doing the dog a favor by calling animal control. They never thought their new friend would be gunned down with a shotgun by the man they called to help, but they say that's exactly what happened. Bugsy needed a home. For days workers at the Whitley Pharmacy and surrounding businesses gave him food, but they decided the county's animal control officer could get Bugsy the help he needed. "In my mind, I'm thinking, he needs a home," Rhonda Rains, one of the workers who befriended Bugsy said, "They'll rescue him, take him to the shelter, clean him up, adopt him out. That's what I had envisioned happening." But workers say when the animal control officer arrived, it was clear that wasn't going to be Bugsy's fate. That's when Breanna Rhoades says she pleaded with a police officer to let her have the dog. "He was like, well if you do that, you have to pay the fine because in city limits you have to have it on a chain or in a cage," Rhoades said, "I was like, well that's fine, whatever I need to do. Just don't kill the dog. Well when he's over here talking to me, the animal control guy was pulled here and shot the dog." Wayne Perkins Williamsburg Police say they were concerned about potential danger after receiving calls that Bugsy had almost caused car crashes. "That dog was not going to hurt anybody. It was gentle, sweet as it could be. It was just scared to death," Rhoades said. "I would never call our animal control ever again," Rains said, "Honest to God I wouldn't because I would be afraid this would happen, and I'm afraid that it's happened many times before that nobody knows about." Rains and others who cared for Bugsy say since the his death, many have told them they would have adopted the dog if they had known he was in danger. Now some hope Bugsy's death will encourage more adoptions and animal control reforms. "I'd like to see an animal control that would actually rescue the dog, take it to the shelter. Let's try to get these dogs adopted out. Don't kill them in cold blood. That's not even humane. If you have to euthanize them because they're overpopulated, that's sad, and I hate that, but at least it's a humane way. I understand they may not can adopt every dog out, but at least give it a chance," Rains said NEWSFIRST tried to contact the animal control officer involved in Bugsy's death, but he did not return our calls.

It'd be better if they posted the address and phone number of this POS. He needs b!tch-slapping. And then a pink slip.
Democrats vs Republicans: The false paradigm of American politics People continue to believe in fallacies like the left-right paradigm because they are inclined for some reason- to make decisions based on their feelings, rather than objective logic or rational thought unfortunately.
He needs b!tch-slapping. And then a pink slip. I agree, we've known this pos for years, his cruelty to animals is well known but never could be proven, till now. I don't have any personal info on him, we moved from that county in 96', but here is what I have on the animal shelter he works for.

Sad, but all too common story. Most of these 'animal control officers' are given the job as a political or family related pay off. The one we forced to resign here was killing dogs every Friday in the shelter - ALL OF THEM - for years so he wouldn't have to clean the kennels on the weekends. Its figured upwards of 5,000 plus were executed so this POS could have easier weekend duties. Thanks for posting. btw, we have 11 dogs being transported tomorrow to forever homes out of our kill county tomorrow.

You know, this dog’s death isn’t as heinous as a terrorist attack or raising the price of beer, but it is important because it shows how inhuman we humans can be. This was a little dog; probably somebody’s pet. If you can’t show some humanity on this level, how you can show humanity on a larger scale?
Thanks Suzanne, tragic stories like this seems to separate those who are humane, and those who aren't.
This guy should be fired. There was no call to treat this animal so inhumanely.
It doesn't really show anything. You can't tell what happened from the story, it could have been many things, but you can tell the story isn't being told fairly. It's probably just a bunch of dumb hicks lying cause their poor little doggie got killed due to their idiocy. I'd like to hear the other side. And having that retard Murron chime in calling him a piece of shit, saying she's known him for years (though none of those years are within the last 15, lol), well that just further makes the case that it's some unfortunate incident that happened when normal people came in contact with hicks. As I said, big fucking deal. It happens all the time. Just a dog and some retard hicks.

The great Mahatma Gandhi said it best: “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”. You're comment "just a dog" is very scary to think that you, and obviously this animal control officer, would have little regard for life........perhaps you should read up on Ghandi's teachings....."he was the pre-eminent political and spiritual leader of India during the Indian independence movement. He pioneered satyagraha—resistance to tyranny through mass civil disobedience, a philosophy firmly founded upon ahimsa, or total nonviolence, which helped India to gain independence, and inspired movements for civil rights and freedom across the world."

Exactly. Its also worth pointing out most human 'serial killers' begin doing this sort of thing to animals first.

Demonstrating you're not just an asshole, you also can't admit when you fucked up. Loser.

ABBA uses the internet to compensate for an extremely underwhelming 'real world' life. Once you realize this, it all falls into place.

Yeah, I remember G.W. Bush did something similar as a child. It may have had something to do with frogs and firecrackers, but my memory isn't what it used to be. Good point badeye!

Wait until the time come when the U.S. Government calls out those hicks on you. This guy's the perfect example of the stereotypical Jack-Booted Thug. And YOU are the perfect example of the concentration-camp capo. Your future will be an unhappy one... And deservedly so.
I used to target practice using frogs. It worked exceedingly well. If you can hit a frog with a handgun at 20 yards, you can hit a human at fifty. Every time, exactly where you want.

ABBA? Would you like to see your home displayed here in the forum? And a few other pertinent details about your pathetic life? With links to the relevant public records? I'm willing to play this game if you wish. I'm better at it than you.

What paradigm? That is the type of response one would receive from the average voter in the United States today. It reflects the clandestine ignorance of the majority of the populace today. So the question becomes, why does the population continue to believe in the so called, left-right paradigm?
