Listen to Bob Barker

In the 2006 comedy Talladega Nights, Will Ferrell, as NASCAR driver Ricky Bobby, delivers a public service announcement about packs of wild dogs that control most of the major U.S. cities.

The announcement is, of course, a joke. But, Woodfin resident Susie Sloan said she has noticed a growing problem with feral animals, specifically cats, in the town.

Sloan told the Woodfin Board of Aldermen on Tuesday (July 15) that she has trapped 11 wild cats recently in her Martel Village neighborhood. She asked the town for an organized plan to keep wild animals off the streets of Woodfin.

Woodfin Town Administrator Jason Young told Sloan he is currently investigating examples of the roles similar governmental bodies played in controlling animal population.
