Are you aware that animal abuse is often a precursor of child abuse? Yes Yes Yes
Now that aggravated cruelty to animals is a felony in Colorado, are you in favor of insisting that city attorneys prosecute such cases seriously? Yes Yes Yes
Overpopulation of cats and dogs results in many being killed each year, even here in Boulder. Would you be likely to support a city ordinance to require dog and cat guardians to either spay and neuter their cats and dogs or obtain breeder licenses?
In favor of an ordinance to
require dogs and cats to be neutered or spayed. Isn't sure about the breeder
licenses.
Undecided all though I lean towards neutering and both my dogs were
neuterer as pups.
Yes
Would you be likely to support a city
ordinance specifying a maximum amount of time animals are to be tied or chained per day?
Yes Undecided. Would look at this more closely if you had some better parameters.
Yes
Boulder’s prairie dog ordinance, which prohibits poisoning of prairie dogs, has recently been suspended because of concerns that its prohibition against poisoning conflicts with state law. Do you support the City of Boulder’s intention to protect prairie dogs? Yes I support the intent but I am a lot more reasonable about the problems associated with prairie dog management than most on City Council are. The problem with dealing with one species is that they don't live in a vacuum so when we concentrate on that species we create downline problems for other species. Yes
If the City of Boulder can outlaw the
poisoning of birds – including pigeons - do you think we should?
Yes I don't mind outlawing poisoning of animals-never really liked that
method of animal management.
Yes
Would you be willing to meet from time to time with representatives of one or more animal-protection groups to discuss their concerns? Yes Yes Yes
