Stray Dog Meeting at Same Time as Exec Debate

While Northampton County Executive candidates growl and bark at each other on Tuesday night, the rest of the County will be going to the dogs. Cats, too. There will be a 7 pm meeting at the Charles Chrin Community Center, where the tea party usually meets to cast spells on Democrats.

Should the County take over stray animal control? Should we have a shelter to ease the burden on local law enforcement, and the tie and expense of shipping animals several counties away? Why are so many of the strays in the no-kill shelters a pit bull variety? Why does Sheriff Randy Miller and Easton Police Chief Scalzo feel so strongly about this issue?

This meeting will include an overview of two reports already prepared for the County on this issue, which include possible solutions to alleviate the situation.

For more information contact Lori Sywensky, Community Development Administrator at 610-559-3200, or lsywensky@northamptoncounty.org.

    I don't know why there is no solution to this problem. There is a Chinese restaurant on nearly every block.

    The dogs will make more sense then either Brown or Callahan.

    In Lehigh I guess if old people will be left to starve the solution for stray dogs will be the death penalty.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
