TOPICS will be: Upcoming City Hall action for Lucy, recent record breaking cold snap and planned spring sanctuary vet assessment.
Lucy the Elephant has been at the Edmonton Valley Zoo for 45 years and turns 47 this year.  This is an ominous milestone as zoo elephants rarely survive to their mid forties. Lucy suffers from a number of zoo induced ailments which will shorten her life expectancy. She has no other elephant companions, which is considered cruel by elephant experts due to their highly complex social needs. The harsh Edmonton climate is detrimental to her health and painful for her ongoing arthritis and foot disease. Lucy lives in a tiny concrete cell and is only allowed outdoors for short controlled walks.

Breed-specific legislation is a type of dangerous dog law. It is defined as any ordinance or policy that pertains to a specific dog breed or several breeds, but does not affect any others. Proponents of breed-specific laws seek to limit public exposure to well-documented dangerous dog breeds by regulating the ownership of them. 
BSL needs to disappear. BSL is discrimination, stero-typing, prejudice,and injustice. When a dog attacks, all animals should not be held accountable
Stop the BSL killing these innocent dogs.

Topic will be:How the pandemic puppy phase is over, shelters are filling up, and euthanizing animals again-- and rescues need help.
Watchdog Mary is a 17-time Emmy award-winning journalist writing about animals and the environment. Watchdog Mary is using her talents to report about animals. She writes for The Dodo, Grit Daily, Dogster, Catster, Just Labs, EnviroNews, and Celebrity Page TV.
WatchdogMary has been getting a lot of complaints about the City of San Antonio Animal Care Services euthanizing dogs.The shelter killed 102 dogs in Sept. 2021. Many dogs were healthy and killed only because the shelter was full. Shelters in Texas kill more dogs than any other state. Shelters and rescue groups REALLY need fosters, adopters, and donations. The problem is not over.
If you want to help, contact your local shelter or a rescue group and ask how to get involved. If you want to see how many animals your local shelter or animal control is euthanizing, here's how: https://www.watchdogmary.com/pets-in-need
