I feel that the county seat of Nicholas is ignoring other parts of Nicholas County by not allowing any other county services outside of Summersville. Point in case is homeless animals running the streets of Richwood and other surrounding communities. These pets have become more and more present in town and in many other areas. These pets could potentially become dangerous, carry disease, and mating like wildfire creating more of a pet population problem. Most of this is due to people abandoning their pets at their homes or dropping them off in other areas to get rid of them. This has became a growing problem in Richwood and other towns nearby. County officials are not taking anything into consideration unless its within the city limits of Summersville. I feel by building a small animal shelter in Richwood it could help serve other communities close to Richwood and have a place for these pets to get a second chance on life and to also get potential dangerous animals off the streets. Also we create a few needed jobs for people and a place for the young of the community to take part in community service activities by helping the shelter and the animals.
