Good Morning,

It has come to the attention of Turtle Moon Rescue, Inc. (TMR) that the City of Montgomery will be discussing ways to deal with vicious dogs on July 31.  As we all know, the targeting of any specific breed of dog in Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) is patently unfair to the owners of breed in question.  Cities that have passed such ordinances have generally found them useless in protecting the public.  It places undue burden upon responsible dog owners and drives the irresponsible owners and breeders further underground.

Turtle Moon Rescue supports legislation that places the legal burden and accountability onto vicious and dangerous dog owners regardless of the breed.  TMR supports the neutering and spaying of dogs by responsible pet owners.  TMR opposes the practice of dog fighting in any form. Lastly, TMR opposes the institution of BSL that targets Pit Bulls or any other specific breed.

We are seeking our friends support in opposing this action by writing polite factual letters and emails, or by attendance at the council meeting by those folk who are local to the area.  Please let us know if you are able to attend.  Also, you will find below a list of people and addresses to which you can drop a letter or email as well as a recent newspaper article .  The City is inviting written comments from the public.

Rick, TMR Volunteer
