It also seems Mark Everett is throwing in home inspections as  part of  the 
litter permit on this ordinance.

TX-RPOA  E-News
From Responsible Pet Owners Alliance,
the  reasonable voice  regarding animal issues in Texas.
Responsible Pet Owners  Alliance is an  animal welfare organization, not 
"animal rights" and, yes,  there is a  difference.
Permission granted to crosspost.

December 9,   2005

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 
â??
Animal Rightsâ?? 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 hot bed of animal  rights extremists,  including â??Pets Aliveâ?? 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 ownersâ??  private homes, and  Mandatory Microchips.  Microchips 
should be  encouraged but mandatory  microchips will be discriminatory to low 
income pet  owners.  If the  pet owner canâ??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 â??it was  not cost  effective and didnâ??t promote any goodwill 
whatsoever.â??

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. Please  contact the  city officials 
below to express opposition to this  proposal:
