Another committee is formed. More date are proposed. Now a December 2001 date has been mentioned by the Board of Health at their meeting. This problem began discussion in October 2000. The dangerous beasts have been slain and the adoptables can find homes.
Adoption costs our town far less than the other choice.
I had a very negative experience with Oak Park Animal Control, and it is still disturbing to me after 3 years. A cat from Forest Park found its way to my home on Ridgeland and North Avenue at the start of a hot summer weekend. Kitty ate well, got plenty of attention, and had a comfy porch bed to sleep on while I waited for the ads to run. Come Monday I also called Animal Control and reported my find in case the owner contacted their agency. They seemed friendly enough - took down my information, and told me how to get progress reports.
