What a joke! Yer obviously they used to fight Roosters. But if they stopped what were they going to do with them? Kill em? Old skinny roosters don't make for good eatin' Turn the loose? Then they would be in trouble for that. The only thing they could do is keep them. The news didn't report any actual proof they were still fighting them. But guilty or not they will just let it slide and have a finger licken' AC picnic on their confiscationsJose Can U See....noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211747217875691594.post-19172258057912957772009-04-05T19:41:00.000-06:002009-04-05T19:41:00.000-06:00I see something wrong with a city who has more ani...I see something wrong with a city who has more animal control trucks running around than police. It's city, county, and NMSU buzzing the city constantly like some obsessed crazy person.

As for Anonymous' statemen...Great article, Michel. As for Anonymous' statement regarding TNR of cats. As LeRoy Brown, commented, cats are generally not a threat to humans, as roaming dogs can be. In fact, truly feral cats shun human interaction. As for "nuisance cats", our city and county animal control officers, along with the general public, have been trapping and removing cats from areas for many years, to no avail. It has been proven, time and time again, that TNR can and does work to stabilize and reduce feline populations over time. Why not try something different, that not only will save taxpayer dollars (fewer animals being impounded and euthanized at the shelter) and will actually accomplish the goal of LESS CATS???badlandsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211747217875691594.post-39850165165248606652009-04-03T06:36:00.000-06:002009-04-03T06:36:00.000-06:00Hey Cat Hater.....It's spelled disease.Hey Cat Hater.....It's spelled disease.Miss Meownoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7211747217875691594.post-36730481654004544212009-04-01T21:56:00.000-06:002009-04-01T21:56:00.000-06:00I highly suggest that you look at the pound's poli...I highly suggest that you look at the pound's policies as to adopting animals. Frankly they make even viewing animals a square pain. Maybe it's just easier to kill them, rather than do the job right. It's cheaper in the long run to kill. <BR/><BR/>I heard on the news that they are whining about how much more is killed here than up in Albuquerque in ratio to populace And that the pound is going to hold another dimwitted meeting about it. <BR/><BR/>Shit just kill them all off when you get them and quit pretending!<BR/><BR/>In reply to annoy'mouse'...Ar you stupid or something. Dogs pack when they are left on their own and they go back to their roots and hunt when the Dog Cow isn't there any more. Maybe you would you rather have a pack of hungry pitbull's running the streets????
