Good Grief - How radical

I HATE breed profiling. It's just as bad as profiling people by race. That's good news about Ballard. Hopefully, if he gets elected, he will keep this promise! It seems Animal Control is open-minded to starting new programs. They're going to turn the cat rooms into community cat rooms rather than keep the cats in cages all day. They've said research shows it is better for the cats. It is encouraging to see them be open to improvements and new programs. I went Wednesday and took dogs out for a couple hours. It was a lot of fun.

That's great to know. I always try to find out where the candidates stand on animal issues before I vote. No wonder he's breathing down the mayor's neck in the latest poll. Hopefully this will encourage people to look into this issue and where the candidates stand before voting. As far as breed profiling, it's wrong. I've been bitten by more small ankle biters than large so called aggressive breeds. I do think people should be held responsible for their pets' behavior no matter what the breed.

That's great! At least we don't live in central IN, so we don't have to pay outrageous taxes to begin with. Well, BSL is Bull S*** Laws if you ask me. My dog is a pittie and everyone thinks she is so evil, well she's NOT! Never has she bitten any human being or animal(except for squirrels). I just wish people would get that...

Let's have a BIG woof-out for Mr. Ballard! I know something about how important spay/neuter is. I was on my way to Animal Care & Control, or the Humane Society, which might be even worse, along with all my brothers and sisters when my Dad rescued me. We were just six weeks old, and our birth mother's two-legged mom couldn't keep us. I'm so very lucky, but I don't know whether all my brothers and sisters were as lucky or not.

Talking about profiling us by breed -- that's ugly. Two-legged folks don't like that; why do they want to do it to us? You know the other guy -- the one who's Mayor now -- he wanted to ban all pit bulls last spring because they can be made mean. What's up with that? Doesn't it make more sense to do something about the PEOPLE who torture the poor dogs and make them mean, just so the people can use them for fighting and gambling and then kill them? Profiling is bad business and it doesn't solve a thing! But spay/neuter does.

I hope Greg Ballard is able to get this done!! He's the mayor now. I hope he doesn't believe in breed profiling either. My sister Minnie is a brat, but she is lovable! I don't want anybody stereotyping her!
