Description
Positive sightings of pitbulls being trained to bite/fight on the URI Community Greenspace trees in Chatham Square Park has been made. This dog or these dogs are thought to live in the block of Chatham Street between Maltby and Lombard Streets, but this has not been positively confirmed. The stripped bark means certain tree death. Stop the arborcide! The Friends of Chatham Square Park are meeting at 8:30 AM on Saturday July 24th to replace one of the trees and install guards for the remaining trees.

I cannot make it this Saturday, but good luck and thanks for doing this.
One quick comment: As to the location, Chatham does not run between Maltby and Lombard (Lombard is parallel to Chatham), but I know that I have seen a particularly vicious looking and sounding Pit Bull on Downing St between Chatham and Lombard.
If this positive sighting has really been made, can the witness please contact NHPD. No offense to the trees, but I'm actually even more concerned about the dogfighting.
