Perhaps Mayor Diane Watts would like to comment? She can remind the media of what she told animal activist Roslyn Cassells, in a June 24th email: 'We also have a no kill policy at our City Pound. I can categorically say that I do not believe in the killing of animals. Euthaniztion should only be used for sick or extremely injured animals.'

This seems an odd thing to say, coming from a person who can't help but know that her city pays the SPCA to be the city pound and to kill certain dogs.
