Bob Fecht

Cheyenne Animal Shelter CEO Bob Fecht has resigned from his position with the shelter, a month after ordering the pepper spraying of a dog who bit an employee.

Councilman Rocky Case says his resolution is intended to force some changes at the shelter, not to cut off funding for the facility.

Illoway's resignation comes just three weeks after an 80 pound pit bull named Tanner was pepper sprayed at the direction of the shelter's CEO, Bob Fecht.

Police have determined that CAS President and CEO Bob Fecht and two employees committed animal abuse by pepper spraying a dog after it bit an employee.

A total of 483 people had answered the survey as of 5 a.m. Friday.

Was the punishment too harsh, too lenient or about right?

The shelter board made the decision to suspend Fecht for 60 days without pay during an emergency meeting last (Monday) night.

We'll publish the results of our poll later this week.

The City of Cheyenne has no direct control over the Cheyenne Animal Shelter.
