McClure - Mayor Cheryle Dillon wrote the animal control ordinance that will
be introduced at the village board's meeting Tuesday night (10/09/07). As
director of the Humane Society of Southeast Missouri, she had some
background on the issues. The proposed ordinance would enable the village to
pick up dogs and cats allowed to run loose. A microchip identification would
be injected into the animal, and the owner would be required to pay a $25
return fee and $10 a day in boarding costs. The second time the animal is
picked up it would be altered if it was not already spayed or neutered. The
owner would be billed for the procedure in addition to paying the other
fees. All the procedures would be conducted at the Humane Society of
Southeast Missouri in Cape Girardeau. The board is investigating whether it
can require owners of pit bulls, Doberman pinschers, Rottweilers and German
shepherds to maintain extra liability insurance. The ordinance being used as
a basis is from a city in Missouri not Illinois. Illinois state llaw
prohibits breed specific legislation.
