DMN column makes strong argument for animal ordinance in Dallas by visiting shelter “back room”

2

by PegNews wire

Those who argue against the city of Dallas' proposed animal control ordinance might follow Dallas Morning News columnist Steve Blow on his recent trip to the Dallas Animal Services and Adoption Center; they'd likely walk away feeling differently.

Blow's column skillfully recounts his visit to the room nobody wants to look at or think about: the "euthanasia lab" where 80 to 100 unwanted animals are killed every day, adding up to 29,000 deaths a year. You have got to feel for those shelter workers who are dealing with the aftermath of people's irresponsibility and/or ignorance.

Rawlins Gilliland's recent comments about people's unenlightened attitudes regarding animals are a powerful reminder of what a long journey the city has. Maybe they could make field trips to the shelter a mandatory thing.

This is the best thing Steve Blow has ever written.
School children definitely need to see this.

If approved by the city council, this will be the most un-enforced law on the books.
