Marc Kilmer, Wicomico County Council
During next week's council meeting, we will be holding a public hearing on legislation that would overhaul the county's animal ordinance. This rewrite of the laws governing dogs, cats, and other animals was prompted by concerns that the current law had some problems. For instance, Wicomico County's current standards for ordering dogs euthanized is far harsher compared to many other jurisdictions. A committee thoroughly reviewed our law and made a variety of recommendations. These are embodied in the bill that will be considered on February 6. Let me know what you think about it: http://www.wicomicocounty.org/DocumentCenter/View/6643

I don't have a question about the animal ordinance, but I do question why you support John Cannon for president?
ReplyDeleteBecause he is the king of the slumlords.
ReplyDeleteI am just glad to see that they added that if you trespass or unlawfully enter a property, you tease or torment the animal, the owner and the dog are not liable!!!! That is how it should be in the first damn place... I don't see how a dog protecting its home from a trespasser is the fault of the dog or owner anyway, but the city of SBY knuckleheads sure believed it to be...
ReplyDeleteIf the dogs don't get them I really pity them dealing with me.

Yeah I was wondering myself about that. I hope you don't decide to run again.
Speaking of dogs and what I saw yesterday twice reminded me, is what is the deal with back yard kennels around here? I have lived in 7 different states and have done business in nearly all 50, and this is the only area where back yard kennels are so extremely common. The weather can be horrible here and still, the dogs are kept in these kennels, outside. They might have a dog house, but that is it. What is the point of having a family pet when they are going not be in the house? At a minimum, they should be on a runner and have a dog house, not cooped up in a wire box with no room to run.
ReplyDeleteWhy would you type in all CAPS. That's one lazy employee.
ReplyDeleteCounty Representative Kilmer, please tell us what you think is appropriate for the changes?
ReplyDeleteThen we can have the satisfaction of agreeing or disagreeing with your assessment.
What you're asking now tells us that you don't have a clue.
Give the Committee and the animals what's
ReplyDeleteask for by and for them.
Why wouldn't you anyway Council????
Revised Laws seem "long over-due" after
ReplyDeletereading the Older ones here.
I would think/hope our County Council would
want to protect Animals as much as possible.
Allowing mistreatment isn't acceptable as
they can't help themselves. They feel pain,
the same as any human does.
Gaundi stated, " A Country can be judged
by the way it treats their animals."
How true. Hope the Council knows they
too will be judged by the way they vote
on these.

Man I'm impressed. You lived in 7 states and done business in 50 states wow. You've never been to 43 states, by your own admission, but you know that "this is the only area where back yard kennels are so extremely common."
You are full of SH!T!! If you have a statement to make and want the support of people in Wicomico County then don't lie to us with your BULLSH!T.
By the way, the kennels you are referring to are in Salisbury, go bullsh!t Jake Day.
