Page "Colorado City, Arizona" Paragraph 7

( 1 ) In 2001, Jeffs issued an edict that all domestic dogs would be banned from the Cities.

Less than one month later, in compliance with Jeffs's edict, Marshal's Deputies went to each household in the Cities and asked residents to turn over any dogs that they had in the home to the Officers.

The Marshal's Deputies then shot and killed the dogs in a slaughter pit a short distance from the Cities.

Two of the Marshal's Deputies involved in this incident remain employed by the Marshal's Office.
