~~ ~" ` Page 1 of 2 <br />y A `, <br />Marie Galio <br />From: R DANIELS [torrid811@sbcglobal.net] <br />Sent: Tuesday, September 21, 2010 1:09 PM <br />To: gallom@north-olmsted.com <br />Subject:. breeding in north olmsted <br />I would like this read before council and befor the vote. My name is Rebecca Daniels and I reside on <br />4000 fielding dr north olmsted. Animal laws are not always a result of state and federal battles. <br />Squabbles between neighbors often erupt over animals, squabbles that often floweth over into <br />complaints to local governments, and local governments grease the squeaky wheels with some ordinance <br />or other tacked on to the zoning code or the criminal code. These ordinances are often passed out of <br />frustration, with little consideration for the consequences. <br />While few cities actually restrict dog breeding, these laws surface occasionally. Proponents claim they <br />are necessary to stem the tide of animals entering and dying in shelters or to put what they think is an <br />end to a issue. However, these laws don't work because puppies produced by responsible breeders rarely <br />enter shelters and a responsible breeder such as myself and others i know always have a waiting list so <br />pups are gone by 8 weeks. <br />Breeding restrictions also ignore the rights of breeders to pursue their legal interests and do nothing to <br />help people keep the pet they have instead of sending it to a shelter when troubles arise, leaving puppy <br />buyers with few options for finding well-bred healthy pets and robbing a community of a broad and <br />deep body of knowledge about dog care and training <br />Breeding restrictions on a hand-full of people in north Olmsted is not necessary due to the fact that we <br />already have laws in place to deal with any and all complaints....its not gonna change the amount of <br />dogs in north Olmsted that are making families and people very happy. <br />Responsible dog breeders sell their puppies to new homes, take back puppies that buyers cannot keep, <br />are available to answer questions and help new owners train their puppies, and protect the health and <br />well-being of their breeds. They are part of the solution to community dog troubles and should not be <br />taxed and otherwise penalized as if they are part of the problem. <br />Touting breeder restrictions as all or even part of the solution to pet euthanasia at shelters also ignores <br />the dynamics of dog ownership that often lead to abandonment of adult dogs, including: behavior <br />problems; poor choice of a breed or dog; moving to a place that doesn't allow animals; community dog <br />number limits; and illness that no longer allows the owner to keep the pet. Some of these conditions can <br />be corrected by education; none of them can be corrected by reducing the number of puppies produced <br />by responsible breeders. Proposing such laws as a cure-all also ignores the responsibility of humane <br />societies to market the dogs in their facilities, teach people how to avoid or correct behavior problems <br />with their dogs, and help people make a good selection of a breed and an individual dog. While most <br />humane organization carry out these responsibilities, some blame breeders instead of developing <br />workable solutions. <br />Most laws affecting dog owners are drafted and approved by local governments. Several types of these <br />laws have become popular. <br />Neighbors really like nuisance laws that prohibit continuous barking, particularly after dark; require <br />9/21/2010 <br /> <br />~. <br />
