00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:04,550 --> 00:00:06,439
My name is Staff Sergeant Maurice 

3
00:00:06,439 --> 00:00:08,717
Clarke from 36 Civil Engineer Squadron . 

4
00:00:08,717 --> 00:00:10,828
And I mean so I see a pest management 

5
00:00:10,828 --> 00:00:12,939
here on Anderson Air Force Base . The 

6
00:00:12,939 --> 00:00:15,106
number of stray and feral dogs spotted 

7
00:00:15,106 --> 00:00:17,328
on base has increased in recent times . 

8
00:00:17,328 --> 00:00:16,680
We have been noticing individuals 

9
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,847
leaving our food and water for them on 

10
00:00:18,847 --> 00:00:21,013
base . I want to stress the dangers of 

11
00:00:21,013 --> 00:00:23,236
feeding these dogs here on an Air Force 

12
00:00:23,236 --> 00:00:25,291
base and also the negative impact it 

13
00:00:25,291 --> 00:00:27,458
can have for the residents who live on 

14
00:00:27,458 --> 00:00:26,990
the installation . The hard working 

15
00:00:26,990 --> 00:00:29,630
professionals and the mission now 

16
00:00:29,630 --> 00:00:31,797
feeding the homeless dog may not sound 

17
00:00:31,797 --> 00:00:33,852
like the worst thing , but on an Air 

18
00:00:33,852 --> 00:00:35,908
Force installation , with operations 

19
00:00:35,908 --> 00:00:37,963
going on 24 7 , our main priority is 

20
00:00:37,963 --> 00:00:39,686
the mission having a safe work 

21
00:00:39,686 --> 00:00:41,908
environment . How can this be dangerous 

22
00:00:41,908 --> 00:00:44,130
for the base ? Remember that these dogs 

23
00:00:44,130 --> 00:00:46,019
have never been domesticated . So 

24
00:00:46,019 --> 00:00:48,130
although they may be furry and cute , 

25
00:00:48,130 --> 00:00:48,100
if they feel threatened in the 

26
00:00:48,100 --> 00:00:50,267
slightest way , they won't hesitate to 

27
00:00:50,267 --> 00:00:52,267
lash out on you , your pets or even 

28
00:00:52,267 --> 00:00:54,267
your Children . Now let's say these 

29
00:00:54,267 --> 00:00:56,378
dogs show up on base and their person 

30
00:00:56,378 --> 00:00:58,544
isn't there to feed them . The dog may 

31
00:00:58,544 --> 00:01:00,600
start to wander around base and find 

32
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:00,260
itself somewhere like the airfield . 

33
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,351
Yes , most airfields have barbed wire 

34
00:01:03,351 --> 00:01:05,573
fences as a standard protection against 

35
00:01:05,573 --> 00:01:07,796
animals and human intruders alike . But 

36
00:01:07,796 --> 00:01:07,560
this only solves the issue of things 

37
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,500
coming over the fence . Our press 

38
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:11,667
management team sets out traps monthly 

39
00:01:11,667 --> 00:01:13,722
in order to reduce the population of 

40
00:01:13,722 --> 00:01:15,889
wild canines here on base . If you see 

41
00:01:15,889 --> 00:01:17,778
a pest management traps set out , 

42
00:01:17,778 --> 00:01:19,944
please do not tamper with them . There 

43
00:01:19,944 --> 00:01:22,111
are live traps set out to relocate the 

44
00:01:22,111 --> 00:01:24,278
canines , and tampering with our traps 

45
00:01:24,278 --> 00:01:23,550
is tampering with government property . 

46
00:01:24,540 --> 00:01:26,540
If you or your family , I wanted to 

47
00:01:26,540 --> 00:01:28,707
help the canines here in Guam . Please 

48
00:01:28,707 --> 00:01:30,818
reach out the game for volunteering , 

49
00:01:30,818 --> 00:01:32,707
fostering opportunities , because 

50
00:01:32,707 --> 00:01:32,650
together we can make Anderson a safer 

51
00:01:32,650 --> 00:01:33,060
place .
