Ammend Ordinance 8.08.060 to Include "Release to Animal Rescue/Sanctuary"
The Issue
This is important, because a judge has the power to euthanize a dog if it has only one encounter that he deems vicious, whether it may be or not, without knowing any circumstances. This is important because a recent case here in Nashville, Prada Andree, this dog was deemed vicious and sentenced to death. This is still a pending case with appeals to come, but there was no option to release it to a facility that had the means and capability to care for it, simply because the judge said the owner wasn't a fit owner.
We need the ordinance to change, so that dogs may live instead of being killed daily because someone elses opinions.
Please help us fight this, and please visit the following sites for more information and to interact with other supporters of this movement!
