Ginger Cleary, Rome, GA Never underestimate the ability of the hypocritical to hoodwink the sanctimonious. www.rihadin.com -----Original Message----- PERMISSION TO CROSS POST I will be running a study session on Albuquerque's HEART animal control ordinance at 5:30 pm, Tuesday, November 21, near the downtown area of Albuquerque. Space is limited. If you would like to attend, please email or call. HEART is an exceedingly complex ordinance and it takes careful study to appreciate the magnitude of the provisions and absurdities in the ordinance. HEART does a disservice to the public and to the animals we love and enjoy. Based on inaccuracies I have seen in the news, I would strongly urge those in the media to consider participating in this session or a future one. I would also suggest that government officials from areas surrounding Albuquerque and that our State Representatives consider attending. It is inappropriate to have the extreme ideology of the Animal Rights movement drive public policy. Also, Albuquerque Mayor Chavez will be asking the State Legislature to adopt portions of HEART during the 2007 legislative session that begins in January. In addition, Mayor Chavez is attempting to force nearby counties and communities to adopt provisions of HEART. All of this is unnecessary since there are more effective, less intrusive, more humane, and less costly ways to address animal control issues. By profession I am an Operations Research Analyst and must routinely deal with complex problems. You can rely on my experience to receive a professional viewpoint on the HEART ordinance. This study session will provide the information you need to make an informed decision about HEART. Please contact me if you would like to arrange a study session for your group or organization.
