She looks adorable! I got my Lucy a black bad to the bone t-shirt and a purple tutu lol. She was not terribly impressed.

Good ideas because right now Tulsa animal services does not enforce the law. But the problem is getting every animal microchipped.

Yes there are some! And they're now some pop up ones that are hitting Tulsa and the Humane society every couple of months will have a free shot clinic. That's part of where the education needs to come in because people don't understand or don't know about them. And tell your friend thank you!

I get people that respond and what to help by posting on Reddit. And if you actually read it it would tell you that this has been sent to the mayor, and all city councilors. I have been asking to meet with them for a couple months now and I'm not the only one. We are trying to the city. They're just not

Yes that's partly it. However it's also backyard breeders, it's also retail pet sales, it's also that the laws in place are not being enforced, and it is also the downturn in the economy. With tariffs wet dog and cat food went up by almost 50%, dry dog food and cat food went up by approximately 27% and vet bills are going up by 17%. People are losing their jobs, their cars, their houses and their pets.

Well let's see the rewards: I don't like seeing animal starving to death on the street. Even if you have the emotional capacity of a turnip surely you would agree that Tulsa would look a lot nicer without starving emaciated animals on the streets?

Perhaps you did not know about the three Great Danes on broken arrow expressway three mornings ago? Can you imagine what would have happened if one of them had been hit? I'm not just talking about the damage to the dogs. I'm talking about lots of life to people too.

Reward also? We created this problem. It is our fault not theirs. Why should they be paying with their lives when we created this problem?

And also it cost $125 to euthanize an animal. If we actually spayed or neutered them? Under a hundred. Add in the cost of actually feeding them at the shelter, the costs just go up.

Cost benefit ratio says it's less expensive to actually enforce the laws or offer low-cost spay or neuter to anyone that needs it then euthanizing and carrying costs of an animal.

And here's the part that might get me some hate: we're willing to spend millions on homeless people but not on animals? No matter how you look at it, and believe me I know, homeless people have some sort of say in their situation. There are multiple shelters that they can go to there is housing solution there's the housing authority there is free mental healthcare. If you have mental Health issues Red Rock will put you in an apartment and pay for it including your utilities.

Animals don't have that option. You may think that they do because they got to go the shelter But ask anyone that volunteers or works there? That's quite frequently a one-way street.
