50,000 abandoned dogs roaming streets of Detroit in packs
. . .
Attacks have become so prevalent that the U.S. Postal Service has temporarily halted delivery to some of Detroitâs neighborhoods after 25 carriers reported being bitten by dogs from October 2012 through July 2013, the story notes.
In a truly bizarre development, mail carrier Catherine Guzik said she was attacked by âswarms of tiny, ferocious dogsâ while on the job.
âItâs like Chihuahuaville,â she said.
Pit bills, or mixed breeds of the dog, are the most prevalent type of dog left out in the wild. Animal control officials say the dogs are often used for criminal purposes by individuals who rely on the dogs to guard abandoned homes where stolen property is kept.

But more shocking may be the reason why: The city couldnât get the paper to print them.
âFYI, city of Detroit canât process death certificates because they have no paper and donât have money to buy any,â Wallace Williams, president of the Michigan Select Funeral Directors Association, texted his colleagues, the Detroit News reported.
Yes, five days after it filed for bankruptcy on July 18, the city of Detroit was so financially broken it was unable to issue birth and death certificates.
Williams referred to the temporary certificate shortage as âdire.â
He said the certificate shortage could cause major headaches for families of the deceased because without certified copies, they wouldnât be able to access bank accounts, file insurance claims or access probate court.
âHave you ever heard such a crock?â he told the Detroit News. âThey told us they ran out of paper and it might take five days to get some.â
