    It is absolutely remarkable what municipal employee, shelter employees, and shelter volunteers are doing to the SAVE THEM ALL.  One needs to be involved to see what is happening.  I can tell you many stories but the one I think you will get is the shuffle board game.

    I know about fostering dogs for some time and shuffling plus private rescue. I was hopeing to learn of the Chicago scene in what happens there and why I asked the questions I did. And yes it is remarkable what the devoted people do to try and save the dogs and find them homes.

    Maybe you could not make heads or tails might be because you are mixed up in who posted what, please show me where I posted anything in relation to the above.

    I thought eaglerock and you are together.  I thought it was safe to assume the John Yates writing and you two are all on the same mission.  My mistake.  Although you did not make the statement one way or another, do you know the position of the CASA and its members?  I was going to call each of them today but work was busy.  I am not a animal rights person but the position of CASA and its member is significant and I would like to know why they support the ordinance, especially since they can accomplish their goal without the ordinance.

    No we are not together, in fact a while back I disagreed with some of their views and validility of some things they posted, where now I tend to read what they post less and where I tend to check things out myself.
     
    As for CASA, well so that I can learn I decided to do a google and found their website, and which I am now in the process of reading through, and I noticed it's a coalition of Chicago shelters and I'll find out some more after reading more, link:-

    I'd be very interested in hearing what CASA says after you call them and ask, please send a forum post later on.

    I was going to call each of them today but work was busy.  I am not a animal rights person but the position of CASA and its member is significant and I would like to know why they support the ordinance, especially since they can accomplish their goal without the ordinance.

    Did you have a chance to call them yet, I feel we would all like to hear replies regarding that from the various organisations that form CASA.
