HomeMy WebLinkAboutA006 - Letter from Katherine and Eric Roccasecca opposing proposed ordinance Katherine and Eric Roccasecca
304 S Riverside Drive
Ames, IA 50010
27 July 1998
Dear City Council Members:
We are writing in response to the postcard "Update on Proposed Animal Ordinances"
which we recently received from the Ames Animal Shelter and Animal Control. We do
not believe that an animal control ordinance based on number of animals is fair or even
useful. Please consider the following questions during the process of voting on the
ordinance.
Are there any statistics which show a correlation between number of animals in a
household and a higher number of nuisance calls?Are there any statistics which show a
correlation between number of animals in a household and animal abuse or neglect? If
no correlation can be shown, then why is the city considering an animal ordinance
based on number of animals?
Sincerely,
Katherine Roccasecca Eric Roccasecca
