The PETA or People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals organization
says they sent a letter Friday to Mayor Brenda Gunter and the members
of the San Angelo City Council, calling on them to pass a total ban on
breeding and selling animals and require that the shelter accept all animals.
PETA notes that many of the animals turned away by the shelter
will end up abandoned on the streets. They say that the city’s recommendation
that residents take on the city’s responsibility of capturing and housing stray
animals could also pose a safety risk if frightened stray dogs react aggressively
toward the people trying to help them.
