Bait Dogs

In Shasta and Siskiyou counties, drug gangs place “bait dogs” in marijuana growing operations tied to posts, so that other drug dealer dogs will be attracted to attack the helpless dogs, which have their mouths wired shut.  As the other dogs attack the bait dog, the attack dog is shot and killed.

Ten million gallons of water are used daily to grow cannabis in Shasta and Siskiyou Counties.  Hundreds of water trucks illegally deliver daily undercover.  Ground water has dried up, leaving farmers and ranchers unable to produce their goods.  Homeowners’ wells are drained with their property left contaminated.

There are about 10,000 transnational drug cartel members in Siskiyou County.  Armed growing operations have no septic systems, so 5-gallon buckets are used and are not disposed of properly.  There is no water, and about 139,000 lbs of chemicals are poured on the ground annually.  Fifty-five gallons of highly toxic spray glue in 55-gallon drums are used to hold more pollen on the plant.  The growers believe it increases potency.

Siskiyou County Supervisor Ray Haupt said, “Tell Shasta to do everything they can, as fast as they can, as hard as they can, and for as long as they can—because what is here is coming for them.  Without intervention, in one to three years the growers will completely run Siskiyou County.”
