It's time to qet this passed so enforcement c+~n b~:;:gin. <br /> Under Division 3 ~ Stray Dogs - <br /> I feel that It should be written into the law that it is a rr andEr[ory requirement that fines <br /> must be issued, for straying, for every dog that ends uFa at tare shelter as well as a <br /> citation tar no license if that Is the case. However, I do eel an exemFtion for <br /> impoundment etc. should be given to Advocats and authorizr~d colony cats that art>. ear <br /> t~ppetl and neulerECJ. Ho'ding time for all other cats sh~:~uld Ire the sane as daps. Cato <br /> with c~~ips should be held a minimum of 7 days tt~e same as dogs with ch ps, Those cats <br /> without ID should ~e held a minimum oP4F hours, the same. as unshipped dogs. I do <br /> feel the impound a~~d kennel fees are rather steep and could definitely result i:~ an!mals <br /> not being redeemed I believe in enforcement, haweve~ , I a so want ~rnirr.als to ac home. <br /> 1 sugcest we follow Maui"s lead in a requirement that is mos: effectivr; and legal. <br /> Maui -Penalty Section - 6.04.110 <br /> Section D <br /> The portion of the fine equal to the minimum fine shall not I:~e susper ded. <br /> Section F <br /> For the purpose of mis sedlon 6.04,110, a violation is r:efinc:d to include the <br /> i:aymf~nt of a fine cireot court or the finding of guilt by a ray trt after a contested hearing. <br /> ( Jrd.;1094 etc, etc. <br /> '1"fris is important in case some judge decides tnat mediatior: etc. is al that is necessary. <br /> "cnything required should be in additon to, for a guilty c~erdica, not in dace of! <br /> The best education toot for adults is a stiff fine!!
