Tacoma City Council Considers Tougher Pet Laws

It sounds as though the city council meeting last night got quite interesting.  Four dozen people, or so, lined up for the public comment period.  What brought out this civic engagement?  Pets.  Why?  Because the Tacoma City Council is considering tougher laws to manage our feathered and furry friends.  The laws includes a requirement that owners of unaltered dogs or cats have a breeders license.  It mandates that impounded animals be fixed.  It limits ‘livestock’ in the city.  I guess my dreams for a few llamas in the backyard of my North Slope home may not be reasonable anymore…

I wish I had been to the meeting last night.  Rules or laws that effect pets brings out some pretty passionate folks.
