- Sept. 5 Vote on Whether to Kill Dogs for Barking
- Posted Aug 29, 2010 by lauraallen
- o Regulation of Pets
The City Council of Lebanon, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville , will vote on September 5, 2010, about whether to override Mayor Philip Craighead's veto of an ordinance allowing euthanasia of dogs thought to bark too much or which are otherwise a nuisance or deemed "dangerous".
- The deadly solution for dogs whose owners are negligent or even criminal is the brain child of City Council member William Farmer.
- Farmer claims pet owners will have an opportunity to correct the animal's behavior. But it is the owner's negligence that results in dogs expressing fear or distress through barking. It is the owner's negligence that results in dogs running loose or biting, not the dog's. As one resident put it, "They are going to kill a dog because the owner leaves him outside all the time on a chain and so he barks in frustration?"
- WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Contact the following Lebanon city council members and urge them NOT to override the mayor's veto of this ill-conceived ordinance. Tell them city resources are better spent on owner education and training and penalties as well as incentives for owners to manage and care for their dogs properly.
