DFW ALERT!!!! Call city hall and/or attend 4/2 council meeting!

[Guest guest]

The City of Dallas Animal Shelter Commission has

recommended a slate of excellent ordinance changes to

help reduce the number of animals killed in the

shelter - almost 100 companion animals are killed

there every day!!

 

The proposed changes include: mandatory spay &

neuter, $500 breeder permit, anti-tethering, and

animal limits.

 

The American Kennel Club and other local breeder

groups oppose these ordinance changes. This Wednesday,

April 2nd, at around 9:00 a.m., several local

activists will speak before the Dallas City Council in

favor of the ordinance changes. If you can come to

Dallas City Hall (Young Street and Marilla) in

support, that would be terrific.

 

Whether or not you can come (and whether you live in

or work in or just visit Dallas), please take the time

to call the mayor and members of the City Council in

support of the proposed changes. Telephone numbers are

below. Phone calls and written letters, rather than

e-mails, are recommended. Further contact information

is available at www.dallascityhall.com.

 

The council needs to hear your voice. Don't let the

breeders win this one! Thanks for your help!
