I have posted a comment on the url given at the bottom and am doing some investigating with regards as to when this will be brought before the city council as well as any other particulars on this subject. I will keep everyone updated.
TX-RPOA E-News >From RPOA Texas Outreach and Responsible Pet Owners Alliance "Animal welfare, not animal 'rights' and, yes, there is a difference." Permission granted to crosspost. July 15, 2010 The "animal rights" legislative agenda has reared it's ugly head in yet another Texas city: Lubbock. We have no formal document at this time so this article below is just a heads up to animal owners in Lubbock. The article states that the Animal Advisory Board and Morris Safe House plan to present their proposal to city council within the next month. The article mentions monitoring breeding by permits or fees, mandatory spay or neutering requirements, and mandatory microchips. We'll be requesting a copy of the ordinance proposal from the city of Lubbock tomorrow. http://www.myfoxlubbock.com/news/local/story/lubbock-dogs-stray-microchip/K16FkFlSZUus31wTRgI4fQ.cspx OR Tiny URL http://tinyurl.com/2agajct Title: Re: RPOA Update - Lubbock faces anti-pet legislation Post by: Circle C on July 16, 2010, 09:24:28 am WTF,
They are coming out of the wood work. Seems that San Fransisco really got the ball rolling in the wrong direction.

Funny thing was I think they were trying to sneak this thing through without anyone knowing about it. Thanks to Mary Beth at RPOA and others, the word did get out and those that oppose this were there with a couple making it on the agenda to speak. We will be a little better prepared for the City Council tho as it looks like a presentation of some kind will be heading to them August 26th.
