Seeley Lake resident tells county packs of dogs are dangerous, urges enforcement
Summary
A Seeley Lake resident told Missoula County commissioners that packs of loose dogs have attacked people and pets, that animal‑control responses have been ineffective, and asked the county to take action; the county asked the speaker to sign in for follow‑up.
Christopher Mood, a third‑generation Seeley Lake resident, used general public comment to describe a worsening animal‑control and public‑safety problem in his neighborhood.
"A lady almost lost her life this summer," Mood said, describing packs of loose dogs that he said have become dangerous. He told commissioners that he and neighbors have repeatedly contacted animal control and the health department but that the situation has not improved. Mood also raised related community concerns, including vagrant campers with no utilities using creek water and damage to a local Boy Scout bridge that affects tourism and local events.
The transcript shows county staff asked Mood to sign in and provide contact information so staff could follow up; no detailed county response to his allegations was recorded during the meeting.
Mood asked that officials not ignore Seeley Lake's issues and said rising property taxes are a concern alongside public‑safety threats.
