RESOLUTION NO. 6045
RE: OPPOSE HOUSE BILL 6025
INCREASE MANDATORY PERIOD FOR HOLDING DOGS & CATS
BY: LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE - Mrs. Simson
TO: OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
MR. CHAIRMAN, LADIES & GENTLEMEN:
WHEREAS, House Bill 6025 increases the length of time dogs,
and now cats, must be held by any pound from 5 to 15 business days,
and the time a dog or cat with a collar, license or other evidence
of ownership to 30 business days; and
WHEREAS, serious problems at the Animal Shelter which resulted
in transfer of the operation to the Humane Society were caused by
the increase in holding time from 3 to 5 days; and
WHEREAS, if this bill is passed, it will create an impossible
situation, especially since it includes cats as well as dogs; and
WHEREAS the space designed by the Humane Society to take care
of dog care for Oakland County was based on the 5-day holding period
and the 15 business days will amount to 21 calendar days, and would
be prohibitively expensive from the standpoint of both space and
money for care and feeding;
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners opposes House Bill 6025.
The Legislative Committee, by Mrs. Marguerite Simson, Chairman,
moves the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
