El Paso pet lovers need your help. Title 7 Animal Code Revisions will be
voted on next Tuesday, December 13th. After two years in idle, all of a
sudden
the proposal is on a fast track. City officials probably assume that most
pet owners are too busy with the holiday season to notice! As usual the
"Animal Rights" activists are pushing their agenda to end all use, breeding and
ownership of animals for any reason â?? including pet ownership.
El Paso is a hotbed of animal rights extremists, including "Pets Alive" and
Steve Best, the El Paso University professor who openly supports Animal
Liberation Front (ALF).
Responsible Pet Owners Alliance opposes provisions for: Litter Permits,
Canvassing pet owners' private homes, and Mandatory Microchips. Microchips
should be encouraged but mandatory microchips will be discriminatory to low
income pet owners. If the pet owner can't afford the microchip, will Animal
Control confiscate and kill their pet? The Litter Permit gives animal control
permission to inspect your premises at any time without a search warrant.
Instead of buying a Litter Permit, many pet owners will just tell Animal
Control to
take the dog when they have a litter. Canvassing was discontinued in San
Mateo County, CA, in 1992 because "it was not cost effective and didn't
promote
any goodwill whatsoever."
These proposals will only result in more animals killed and exacerbate
animal problems, which are loose animals in low income neighborhoods and feral
cats. RPOA sent information to the El Paso Times, mayor, city manager and
city
council members and included a 5 page document of Solutions to Animal
Problems without a legislative component.

proposal:
