my committee have recently launched a pet food bank in addition to the ongoing work we do in the community for outside dogs who are chained/tethered. today, the amount of dog food collected amounted to around three hundred pounds, and so i thought of a neighbouring county humane society director. she wants to model a committee like ours helping outside dogs, in her own community. in turn, she is assisting us [best she can] with steps their HS have taken to get an ordinance through in favour of the well-being for tethered dogs. we are still going in that direction, but it's been difficult- our county commissioners unfortunately are not at all like hers. i feel like this is the armpit of the usa in areas pertaining to an absence of reasonable steps being taken into the 21st century for the interest of animals across the board!
