Your immediate action is needed. Our movement to bring animal control back under city management has hit another roadblock. Due to yet another administrative delay, our plea to bring animal control back to the city was not introduced yesterday and will not be introduced to the full City Council until at least February 27th–and even that date is not guaranteed.
This delay is not just a setback—it’s a direct threat to the future of animal welfare in Kansas City. Without your voice, we could lose this battle entirely.
We Are Out of Time. Action Is Needed NOW.
The city’s annual budget hearings are happening RIGHT NOW, and this is our last chance to make sure that animal welfare—including the insourcing of animal control—is prioritized.
We need as many people as possible to show up, speak out, and demand that City Council make animal control a city service again. If we don’t show overwhelming support, our movement could be buried under political red tape.
