All of the pets I curre...I too am an animal lover. All of the pets I currently have are either strays or the offspring of strays. However, this situation is more complicated than it has been portrayed in the media. This Mayor inherited the merger of two bankrupt cities with horrible facilities and infrastructure, including the animal shelter. He made every effort to work with the humane society officials in the region. However, they chose militancy over compromise and political wrangling over results. He is working to correct the situation and two city employees just completed training from PETA. You need to write the city council down there about appropriating money for a shelter and the local humane officials about raising money and getting results instead of creating this huge spectacle. I want help for the animals and the approach being used by the animal rights community isn't getting it done.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10947325023530896579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-89675461958780257602008-06-19T10:17:00.000-07:002008-06-19T10:17:00.000-07:00I heard about this yesterday.

I am writing letters to the editor of their paper in that area, as well as to the Gov. of Arkansas and whoever I can find that oversees AC at the state level.
