AMBUJA ROSEN~S SPEECh
1 wonder how many Ashland animals oot tancled uo In their chains this
month and oat stuck in snowstorms. unable to escaoe.
~
fhere's a lot OT comoassion for homeless oeoole In Ashland. And
riohtly so.
But look at the most down-and-out homeless oerson--he carries a bottle
af uJate~ everv~Jhereu or ~Jhen he~s thirsty. tle turns on a ~1ater
fountain.
Not so for Ashland's animal family members.
their water dish and canJt drink until their
could take a lone time.
oome of them tl~ over
oerson refills it. ThiS
Now think ot the homeless Gerson In Ashland that you feel the most
sorry tor. Maybe the mother with the child. Maybe the elderly oerson
who.~ out In the cold. Even they. when the,,' eo to their camosltes.
.. "I, " .
have somethina soft to sleeo on--a sleeolng baa. or a bianke~ ~ney oat
from the free box at the recyclino center.
Not so for many of Ashland's animals. who are exiled from toasty-warm
houses, forced to sleee outdoors. bome donJt even cet beddinc.
Now think about the homeless oeoole YOU and I feel so n~ch comeaSSlon
for. Even they don't have to li~e o~ a chain. They can move around
freely as they choose--socialize, 00 indoors where it's warm during
~
the day.
Not so with many
their own homes,
of Ashland's anImals.
not even able to move
who are chained
freely in their
ue even In
own homes.
Now 11m not askina for the red caroet to be rolled out tor these
animals. The ordinance I propose is just, in my oOinion, extending
them the simole human decency--of giving them the ability to drink
when they)re thirsty--a tip-proof water supoly. Giving them the
ability to move around freely lfl ~nelr own homes--a tetherina limit.
and a crating limit for cats and dogs. Giving them the ability to
sleee on somethino to help shield them from the cold when they're
exiled to the backyard on a cold winter day.
After all lIve told yOU about how these animals sutter. three of you
councilors are still opeosed to this ordinance. If you're not going
to do this for the animals) sake. then I encouraae you to do it for
your constitutents. Thousands have signed a petition asking you to
heavily restrict the tethering at animals at home.
Bush invaded Afghanistan and Iraa desoite the mlllions of Americans
who ureed him not to. Many peoele say Bush is not a democratic
leader, but a dictator.
But YOU all are democratic leaders. You re not dictators. I believe
you have a moral obligation to weigh these oetitions heavily In your
decision.
