I intend to oppose this legislation. Cash-strapped municipalities need options to deal with overcrowding, and should be trusted to manage their animal shelters as compassionately as is practicable. Better to euthanize some animals than to force all of them to live in unhealthful conditions.
There are other possibilities, not all of which would requiee public funds either. I think that paying a rather small price to keep safe and healthy animals alive until they find someone else to take care of them will keep the region's conscience clear.
