Fulton County suspends animal control services for Atlanta due to $6.4M annual cost dispute.

Fulton County has suspended animal control services for Atlanta due to a disagreement over a $6.4 million annual cost increase from $2.5 million. County officials claimed that Atlanta had not agreed to pay the increased amount, while Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens accused the county of backing out of an agreement. This has led to concerns about an increase in animal suffering and homeless animals within the city.
