Are animal rights a city issue? by Sura, November 26

Recently, I had a constituent tell me that his issue was something the city doesn’t really deal with: animal rights.

There are many ways the city impacts the well-being of animals though. From the current practice of citing people for cruelty to animals to the potential of promoting the Wisconsin Humane Society’s Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR) program, which slows the spread of disease.

I’m an animal lover and I believe that the humane treatment of our pets — and all animals — is basic to a healthy community psyche.
