Do you think a city animal control should be promoting veganism?!


Question: Do you think a city animal control should be promoting veganism?
an organization funded by tax payer money for taking in unwanted, abused, stray domestic animals. dogs, cats, and small pets, not livestock. not addressing any inhumane treatment of livestock either, just disparaging the use of animals for food in the first place. i have nothing against veganism but i don't think it has anything to do with what this organization is responsible for.

Answers:

No. They're job is to be promoting spaying/neutering, adoption, info on the unethical practices of puppy mills, responsibilities of pet ownership and better means of keeping track of pets. They are animal control, not PETA. They work with domestic pets, and that is where 100% of their focus needs to be, keeping domestic pets safe and people safe from unruly domestic pets. If workers from the pound want to [on their free time, and in no connection with the shelters] want to promote veganism, more power to them. But that is not what the tax payers are paying for. I'd complain to the city. You may even have a lawsuit of clear cut misappropriation of taxpayer money.

No, because as vegans are fond of saying, that's not what they are designed" for. Government agencies are supposed to implement policy not promote personal lifestyle choices.



I'd need more information...does the organization just have leaflets or something around the place? If they do, it was probably dropped off by some local animal rights group.

Nothing wrong with that.



No they should not. They should be dealing with animal control issues, and that's it.
Government is too intrusive as it is.



If my tax dollars went towards advocating something that only 2% of the population agreed with I would be furious.



No, veganism is completely irrelevant here. What does that have to do with animal control?



Absolutely not. Tax dollars should not be used for personal interests.



why would they promote veganism in a country where 95% of its population are meat eaters



I dont know do you have a large Vietnamese population there?
