Today the animal control ordinance debate before the Dallas City Council hits its home stretch. Dallas Animal Advocates are presenting the case for the changes in a council briefing session today, highlighting the benefits of spay/neuter, the costs of shelter overcrowding and the unacceptable numbers of animals being euthanised every year, animal cruelty implications of unsupervised tethering and more. They will showcase shelter worker interviews, videos and case studies of other cities that have approved similar ordinances.
The council votes on these changes next Wednesday, June 25 - we ask all Dallas residents and business people who'd like to see Dallas held to a higher standard to visit the Dallas Animal Advocates website to learn more, and to sign the petition supporting these changes.
There are a lot of people with financial interests in maintaining the status quo who are pushing hard against the changes - "hobby" and commercial breeders among them. Breeding more animals in an overpopulated city is only contributing to the problems, so if you'd like to see more animals finding homes and fewer animals being killed in overcrowded shelters, please speak out in support of the changes!
