                                     MARS BARS CATS - Perhaps for a good reason.

Houston  has a problem here on Earth with overpopulated abandoned Pets roaming the neighborhoods.

The once loved and adored Pets are being abandon by many Owners to fend for themselves.  This often happens in moving from one home to another.

Abandoned Domestic Pets then become feral and suffer from starvation and become sick can be an unnecessary health problem for one and all.

I always think a fed and watered stray is better than seeing a diseased animal roaming and becoming a health problem to all concerned and the Trap Fix and Release method is better than having to spend Tax money on the 2,000 or more each month  for euthanasia.

B.A.R.K the City Animal Control is greatly underfunded and cannot cope with this situation.

The million dollar budget of our taxes is not enough to run the site efficient enough and we must  solve the problem and soon.

California and other States are proposing a mandatory order to get Pet Owners to have their Pets Sterilized (other than for breeding purposes).

The Neuter and Spay of Pets prevents overpopulation and is a benefit  to the health of the Animal in later years from many known problems and cancers.

HOUSTON - The problem can be resolved by following other State lines and making it Law to have Pets fixed as the Law already demands with vaccinations against the deadly Rabies Virus.

This would save money spent and relieve the City of the burden of its failed efforts to solve the over population.

How can we force the law ? - Simply by Apartment managers allowing only sterilized pets on their properties.  Others fined by the City and that money used for those who prove not to be able to afford the vet bill.

The yearly permit ($25?)for owning a pet could be eliminated and that money help to pay Pet Owners towards Sterilization.

I'm hoping y'all agree and help put a stop to the cruel situation these dumb furry friends are needlessly suffering.

Your letter, phone call or email to those who can make the difference would help to save not only the suffering but the cost to the City and tax payers.
