"Sunshine" with animal control agencies
There is a very interesting story on the website for the San Francisco Chronicle about the abuse of animal control agencies in hiding policies and practices from the public. It is an in-depth article which brings to light many of the abuses suffered within these agencies, paid for by tax dollars.
Because of the Sunshine Laws in Florida, any member of the public should be able to attend meetings which concern our public officials, including animal control agencies. I have never tried to attend anything in Sarasota County, but my limited dealings with animal control have always been aboveboard and I know they do everything humanly possible to save as many animals as possible. Since your tax dollars support animal control, which is under the Sheriff's Department, I would challenge anyone who had any questions about this department, to ask them and see what kind of answers you receive. Let's make sure our Animal Services continues to do the best job they can with the money we pay into the system.
