A PLAN TO ADDRESS ANIMAL CONTROL

The issue of loose dogs in our neighborhoods is not a recent development. We all know this, and we have all been affected in one way or another. The city has introduced measures to relieve citizens of loose dogs in their community. Measures like improving the adoption process and neuter/spade requirements. Whereas fines sound like a solution, only responsible owners will likely pay to have their family member returned. But fines for other owners are not overall effective. The fines are judged by municipal courts. These courts are overwhelmed with other municipal cases. This approach only shifts the burden to these courts. A more realistic approach must be taken to provide a worthy solution. 

As your next mayor, I will propose a plan we may all agree on. A preview of this detailed plan will be sent as a press release and posted on this website no later than February 15, 2025. Why the delay? Between now and the last day to file for a place on the ballot, many candidates for mayor will be making promises to get your vote. If their plans for the future of San Antonio do not interest you, return to this page on the 15th.
