The next City of Ferris Council meeting is July 20th at 7:00 p.m. I would
like to beg anyone/everyone to get on the agenda to speak at this meeting.
To do this you must put this in writing to the city. It must contain: Who
you are, your contact information and what you would like to speak about.
This MUST be submitted by July 15th prior to noon. You can submit this to:
100 Town Plaza
Ferris, TX 75125
(972) 544-2110
(972) 842-5761
They do have a fax number I do not have that available I am sure you can
call the numbers above to get this number.
On the morning of July 7, 2009 I was called into my immediate supervisor's
office and handed a form entitled Expectations of Animal Control Function
City of Ferris. (I have attached this form) I was required to sign this. I
asked my immediate supervisor does this mean I need to go down to the
shelter and kill everything. His response was "yes". I responded "I would
not do this, if that is going to cost me my job then so be it". "I will not
go down to the shelter and just start euthanizing everything". When I
returned to the shelter I contacted a few people who have helped out with
posting and rescuing. Then it was a huge mass of people showing up,
calling, interviewing me, and emails were flying. All of the 26 animals in
the shelter at this time did leave the shelter safely.
I do not know why this decision has been made. I did put in writing to the
Council and Mayor requesting a bathroom be put down at the shelter. I did
this on June 5th, I would only hope this was not the reason for their
decision. They have denied my request for a bathroom.
I am now asking for your continued support in getting the elected officials
in the City of Ferris to understand what a mistake they are making. There
have been numerous changes in the reason why this directive was given.
There have also been statements that this is no longer in effect. I have
been given nothing else in writing except what I received on July 7, 2009.
Euthanasia is a part of my job as an Animal Control Officer. Sad as that is
I do understand that some animals cannot be saved. Due to illness, injury,
aggression or just the fact there is no more room in the shelter, animals
must be euthanized. To date in the area of $ 10,000.00 in adoption fees
have been received by the City of Ferris since I started this job. I would
like to know how the euthanization of these animals would have been cost
effective for the City.
Please pass this on, residents of Ferris please stand up and let YOUR
council know how you want YOUR tax dollars spent. If your not a resident
PLEASE help me enlighten this council of the importance of the job I have
been doing up to this point.
According to this directive I can no longer promote spay/neuter. I have
attached a kittico flyer that I was doing every 6 weeks in Ferris. If you
are with an organization that can enlighten this council on the benefits of
spay/neuter PLEASE put yourself on the agenda. If you can enlighten them to
what the job of Animal Control entails PLEASE put yourself on the agenda.
The sign of a civilized society is how they treat their most vulnerable.
Thank You
Misty Clark
Animal Control Officer
