Petaluma unfriendly to animals  Petaluma prohibits anyone from feeding homeless
cats
from most areas of the City of Petaluma Below I
am
listing some of the most recent incidents I asked City of Petaluma
Manager John Brown and Mayor Pamela Torliatt to review:
These are cases that I am
aware
of and I wonder what else is
out there. I have been speaking publicly about the feral cat
issue for many years and after working several hundreds hours on that
issue alone these past few months, I have come to the conclusion that
feral cats are a part of a much larger problem and we need to get
to the core of the problem. That is the City of Petaluma and some
employees.
A starting point to making Petaluma an animal friendly city: Animal shelter employees
need to take courses in humane treatment of
animals and if unwilling to conform, they should be
terminated. Animal Shelter employees need to set an example
for the rest of the population by promoting TNR for homeless cats,
educating the public about spay and neuter their pets, teaching respect
for all
animals.
I would like the City of Petaluma to use its influence to convince the Petaluma Fair management to end the "Ugliest Dog Contest" I don't think this is anything to be proud even with healthy dogs. I think it is a barbaric game that promotes disrespect for animals. Yes, it gets publicity, but do we want that kind of publicity? City of Petaluma needs to control Shollenberger Park/Petaluma Wetlands docents and employees of the City of Petaluma and Water Recycling Facility and end the carnage going on at the Petaluma Shollenberger Park, Ellis Creek and the Petaluma Water Recycling Facility. Thousands of animals have been killed at these locations alone since 2004. It is wrong, it demoralizes a public and the City of Petaluma needs to address this urgently.  Thus far, I have not heard of
any public acknowledgement nor that theCity made any corrections to
protect animals from cruelty in the City of Petaluma
At a public meeting a member of the Petaluma Animal Services Advisory Committee spoke of dog fightings as an acceptable event in Petaluma. A member of a City of Petaluma Park and Rec Commission spoke of getting rid of the beautiful white swans in the park. A Petaluma City employee spoke at a public meeting and told of killing all bullfrogs on a City of Petaluma property. A review of the feral cat ordinance will be on the City Council Agenda sometime after January 2009. A recommendation to remove 1/2 from Petaluma Wetlands and One Block from all City Parks will be considered. It is a step forward, but not enough. Petaluma needs to do better and YOU need to get involved.  Attention:
Feral cat ordinance will be decided by Petaluma City Council, Monday May 18, 2009 7:00 P.M. Petaluma City Hall Come and speak for these homeless cats. 11 English Street Petaluma, CA 94952 phone: 707.778.4360 fax: 707.778.4554 email: cityclerk@ci.petaluma.ca.us  elle@svn.net |
