Forward pay, that's today's Appalachian Wireless. Animal shelters in the region are experiencing overcrowding issues and although many are doing what they can to help alleviate the situation, more help is always needed. The walking dead became the running dead Saturday as they joined in the fight to help combat the problem in the annual Appalachian SPCA Zombie Run in downtown Pikeville. We feel like if we spay and neuter the animals that helps cut down on the population, these animals are not going to have more litter of puppies or kittens so we don't have more animals coming back to the shelter. So starting with the animals to spay and neuter them is what we think is the best way to help us for the future. We can't do a whole lot now about what's out there and what comes in, but we can help with the future of what's going on in Air County. Although the Zombie Run is a ton of fun, it's still all about the animals. Race is kind of fun. Occasionally people jump out and try to steal your little tags, I got one still. All the money here goes to the ASPCA, so it's helping out different animals in the shelter and making it spay and neuter to help control the population, so we don't have any cute little dogs and cats running around on the street without a home. Race officials would like to thank everyone for another successful event. Reporting from Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Shawn Allen.
