Monday, 7pm: Animal Issues Forum in San Marcos

This coming Monday, February 27, we will be meeting at 7pm at the San Marcos Public Library to discuss animal issues in Hays County. Everyone is invited to share their ideas for changes that are needed to current laws and practices that affect pets and their people. The forum will be facilitated by Lynda Rife who has facilitated the Austin Animal Issues Forum since 2009.

The recent case of Angel, a dog who was put to death for killing chickens, attracted a lot of media attention and requests that her life be spared. Hays County Commissioner Will Conley has proposed that the ordinance that caused Angel's death be changed and County Commissioners will be meeting again to vote on proposed changes. Monday's forum will provide an opportunity to discuss the proposed ordinance and to generate other ideas and suggestions from Hays County residents.
