Animals are a huge part of our society and many, many wonderful people get their pets from animal shelters. I think it's time that our governmental leaders step forward and help out with shelters. There are so many animals in the shelter that many don't get a good chance just because there are so many and not because they're sick. I think pet owners also need to responsible for spaying and neutering to help cut down on the amount of animals turning up in shelters. Read Less

I agree with you. Animal issues including spay, neuter and BSL are so important to me that I really look for my candidates to address these. That is very important to me.

I couldn't agree more. Education is a huge issue and very important for any animal owner.

I agree. It's a huge issue with so much needed down and I think that's why a lot of leaders don't address it.

Right. Who was it that was asked a question about animal issues and the person didn't even have an answer but said they would get a committee on it? Ridiculous. A person knows in their heart if something is wrong. They just don't seem to care and I think that needs to change since so many of their voters do care. Read Less

I can't beleive for a minute that not a single one of the candidates doesn't have a pet. I think anyone who has a pet should be concerned about these issues.

That is a great quote. Thanks for sharing and I think it's so true. Like Ghandi said, (roughly) a nation/man is judged on how it treats it's animals.

I think we did pretty okay last time. I only got in on it at the last time but I was on here day and night trying to keep the score up. I think BHS has more people so let's go everyone!

I think the best thing to do is go to a shelter and take your kids with you. You guys could look together for the best dog and see how that dog interacts with your children. I know where I live the shelter has a shelter cat that they test dogs behavior to cats on. Even if you go with the best breed for kids that particular dog may not like kids. I have an American Staffordshire Terrier which are ranked very high on behavior test and he lets kids pull on his ears, has never snapped at anyone or anything and lets my neighbors kids chase him with their quads. I think the shelter is the way to go (that's where I got my baby). Hope that helps. Read Less

That's terriffic. Hopefully I'll read about how well she is doing with her new family in the newsletter in a few years.
