We get letters... (The Next Mayor)

And when we do, we put them out there for you to comment. Here's one from a reader who is very concerned about the pet population:

I would like to raise an issue regarding the Major's race.

I need to know how the Mayoral candidates stand on the issue of Homeless Pets/Pet Overpopulation?

Our streets are filled with hungry homeless animals, many of which have been abandoned by people. I am sick to my stomach of seeing cat bodies flattened in our streets by cars. I am sick of seeing animals starving to death.

I want the city to stop killing and euthanizing so many animals. I want a free or very low cost spay/neuter program for the city of philadelphia and an agressive adoption program. I want support for the Trap/Neuter and Release program. And lastly, I want money allocated for this issue.

Is there any way to find out how the mayoral candidates stand on this issue? I need to know because the candidate I vote for should care about both the rights of people and animals and should have a plan in place for dealing with all these animals running up and down streets. One that does not include euthanizing them.

Thank you for your help.

I haven't heard too much from the candidates on this issue but there is at least one City Councilman who has made this his... dare I say... pet issue.

Let me know if you've heard anything from any of the candidates, either in the news or at forums, that may have escaped my attention. It would be a shame if all of the candidates just rolled over and played dead on this issue.

Councilman Kelly's space was "pimped." That's pretty funny.

karen:

Do you have ballot positions for candidates for Court of Common Pleas?

These are the races where ballot position matters most.
