Animal welfare / TNVR

Urged adoption of a TNVR (trap-neuter-vaccinate-return) ordinance, citing a recent rabid-cat attack and cost savings versus impound-and-euthanize; answered commissioners' questions on revaccination and immunity.

Criticized officials for denying concerns, argued Ordinance 18-68 is inconsistent and needs clarity, said returning sterilized cats is not abandonment, and called for an animal welfare committee.

Corrected the record on Commissioner Braswell's April 21 statements, documenting years of unanswered voucher-program emails and disputing claims that TNVR is illegal or that advocates 'dump' animals.
