This is the email I recently sent to the city's mayor urging him to keep our city's spay / neuter program going. This program has spared hundreds of cats from euthanasia and helped reduce the amount of feral cats on the streets. It is such an important program that MUST be retained especially considering the measly amount of money that goes in to it.
If you're from WINDSOR ON, send the mayor an email urging him to keep the program going! mayoro@citywindsor.ca Good morning Mr. Dilkens, I am writing to you in regards to the city's decision to potentially cancel the spay / neuter program in Windsor Essex. This is an extremely bad decision that will result in the lives of hundreds of cats in the coming years. The program has been successful in spaying / neutering over 3000 cats since its inception and this is nothing to balk at. Growing up, it was commonplace to see feral cats everywhere including dead on the road and I can confidently say that in my experience, this is not happening as much anymore. This is directly related to the spay / neuter program currently being offered. It is so important to retain this program for the sake of feral cats and for the sake of our community. I beg of you to reconsider this as the money that would be saved is so insignificant and it would be saved from a program with proven results. Our country is already sorely lacking in the animal rights department and by canceling this program, you are nailing another nail in the coffin of animal rights. A program with such proven results should not even be considered for a budget cut when I could easily find other things our city has spent money on that frankly, aren't as important. Mr. Dilkens, please keep the program going. By vetoing this program, hundreds to thousands of cats will end up euthanized all for a measly budget savings. No life is worth saving pocket change but when it comes to hundreds of lives, I would hope the choice was a simple one. Thank you, Jonathan Charbonneau
