Pet Lovers Rally Against Proposed Pet Ordinance - News Story - KVIA El Paso
Y'know, I'm really glad that the pet overpopulation issue has gotten this much attention here in El Paso. City Council has postponed voting on the ordinance until October so that they can make sure that once it is passed, it will be enforced. That's smart. There are of course other kinks that need to be worked out on this ordinance.
I really think that its not so much about passing the ordinance but more about educating the public about what Animal Services has to do on a daily basis. Today, I went over to AS with a staff member from the Humane Society to pick up two dogs- a gorgeous giant Husky and a playful Boxer! I was so happy that we were able to rescue these dogs from being euthanized. But again, my emotions got the best of me when I saw the other ones that we left behind.
It's inevitable, those that were left behind will meet their fates tomorrow morning. If only others could see it for themselves so that they could truly understand the magnitude of the problem! No dog or cat should have to be put down because of our irresponsibility or ignorance to the situation.
El Paso, and pretty much every American city with a stray or pet overpopulation problem needs to know the true consequences of their actions. I will say it over and over 'til I'm blue in the face- PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.
