[Thursday, October 15, 2009]

The New Orleans City Council will consider Councilwoman Cynthia
Hedge-Morrell's mandatory spay/neuter ordinance at its meeting on
Tuesday, October 20th. The American Kennel Club vehemently opposes this
draconian and ineffective proposal.  All responsible dog breeders and
owners in the New Orleans area are encouraged to attend Tuesday's City
Council meeting to speak in opposition to the ordinance, and to contact
the City Council members (listed below).  Respectfully yet strongly
express your opposition to this unreasonable and unenforceable proposal,
and urge them to vote against it.  Encourage them to begin an in-depth
study of any existing animal population issues in New Orleans, and to
work on better enforcement of the City's existing animal ordinance.
