Posted on: When owners bark or bite

Thanks, jacqueline and peter351 for starting to point out the shortcomings of Lied. I think it's interesting that, in the article, management doesn't really take responsibility or offer any creative long-term solutions for a situation everyone can agree is horrible (tens of thousands of euthanized pets last year). Most of the commenters also seem more interested in arguing about whose fault it is that a pet goes missing than in getting to the root sources of the problem.

While it seems clear that Lied is mismanaged, no amount of rule changes or reorganization will make a difference until the root causes of the situation are addressed.

One obvious culprit is pet overpopulation. Another is a lack of well-advertised minimum standards of pet care that all owners must adhere to. Maybe our civic leaders can identify others, then start talking about solutions. What they need is a plan to move out of damage control mode and into effective prevention and education.
