Mayor's mailing address still to come...BUT in the meantime I have their email addys -- emails: mayor@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and animals@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and the Animal Services Director's snail mail addy: Dr. G. Meloch Director, Animal Care Center 3705 Manslick Road Louisville, KY 40215 >> >> >> >>> I assume by now most have either read or at least skimmed the >>> provisions in the new Louisville ordinance. On another list, someone >>> has come up with >>> a wonderful idea.... >>> One of the provisions is that if you are going to be traveling >>> for more than 3 days with an unaltered dog, you must notify the >>> Director >>> of Animal Control >>> of that travel, with other information included. The suggestion is >>> that we all play stupid and write to the Director, stating that since >>> you are considering traveling to Louisville with your dog. Since you >>> are going to be traveling there, you want to comply with their laws and >>> would like to know exactly what information he will require (does he >>> need to know the hotels at which you'll be staying, the horse >>> facilities >>> you will be visiting, etc., ) and how far in advance would he like to >>> know your plans? >>> Yes, we know the ordinance is meant for those poor souls who live >>> there...but since visitors dogs will be held to the OTHER >>> provisions...like the 4 foot lead, >>> and no child walking a dog that is entire, plus the neutering of a dog >>> picked up as a stray, etc., why not bother the heck out of the guy? >>> Even if he doesn't send back a reply, just think of the volume of mail >>> his office is going to get...and have to open! They won't dare not >>> open >>> it, after all..I'd send a copy to the Mayor's office, too, just for the >>> heck of it! It would really be best if we had all those idiots' email >>> addresses, and could clog up their emails with our legitimate >>> inquiries...but I think snail mail will have to do! Even the post >>> office will complain, I bet! >>> Peggy >>> ============================================================================ >>> >>> >>> POST is Copyrighted 2006.
