This is great PR for Monroe, NC. We hope the City Council will take the ball and run with it.
NOW is the time to pass some same animal welfare laws. To start:
1. Ban tethering. Just ban it. Now.
2. All dogs must have adequate shelter.
3. It's time to address the issue of people in welfare housing breeding dogs. Sorry if this is a sensitive issue but it must be looked at.
4. It's time to hold slumlords accountable for the blight they're allowing on their properties. Why are slumlords allowed to offend everyone and degrade the city's image just so they can make a buck? It's time to pick up the garbage and unchain the dogs!
Make sure you check back tomorrow. We've got an incredible day coming up. The press has been notified.
I sent an email to the address listed for the site, I want to help in whatever way I can. Union County desperately needs advocates for these types of dogs, particularly the bully breeds/mixes. please let me know what I need to do or whomever I need to contact. Thanks SO much for what you are doing!
