A petition was submitted to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen this week for the removal of pit bulls at a Yazoo City home.
Sarah Sheffield submitted the petition to city leaders after there have been several complaints and incidents surrounding the dogs in the Yazoo Street area.
Sheffield said her neighbors live in fear of the animals. And when they complain, they are met with violent reactions. She claims one concerned neighbor was even threatened with her life.
Sheffield said that same citizen’s home was surrounded by several pit bull owners with their dogs on chains.
“They protested on her street with these dogs,” Sheffield said. “Nothing was done about these dogs or the protest.”

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
