Thanks for addressing this issue. The current administration does not know what the word “compassion” means – especially with Homeland Security being led by dog killer, Kristi Noem. And with trump building his personal Gestapo, it is only getting worse.
You said this: “Ultimately, this is not just a community problem, it’s a test of professional leadership in animal welfare. If animal control and sheltering agencies don’t lead the response, no one will.”
People should also reach out to their representatives in both Congress and the Senate. regardless of party – although if you have a Republican representative, they may have more clout.
Thank you, Elizabeth, I agree that compassion and accountability have to start at every level, from Congress to local shelters. Reaching out to representatives is a powerful next step, and I appreciate you sharing those links to help make that happen.
Thank you for sharing ideas of how to help. It would be great if communities that follow up with your suggestions would share their stories. It is all about the solutions.
Thank you, Elaine! I agree! Hearing back from communities who put these solutions into action would be very valuable. Real stories make a real impact, and I’d love to share and celebrate those experiences as they come in. It’s all about learning from one another and building forward together. Thanks for highlighting the importance of solutions!
