8th grade Family and Consumer Science students at Monticello Middle School learned how to sew recently.

They sewed simple fleece blankets and donated them to 2nd Chance for Dogs for the upcoming cold months.

Chances are the topic that will draw the most interest will be the “voluntary tax” to support the spaying, neutering, care and housing of dogs, and possibly cats.

As it was described at the last couple of meetings, the decision must be made at this meeting, to be included on the next election ballot.

Others said the fines need to be increased, since the current fines were set in 1972.

Tuesday evening at their regularly scheduled monthly meeting, the Monticello City Council reviewed an ordinance that would establish guidelines for owning and controlling dangerous dogs in the City.

The ordinance would not ban any specific breed from the city. It would, however provide requirements for owners of Pit Bulls that go beyond the requirements for owners of other dog breeds.

Ruby Burton, leader of the local Humane Society, spoke to the Monticello City Council, Thursday night about the problem with pit bull dogs, and their care, inside of the Monticello city limits.

A child had her ankle broken and other injuries, less than a month ago, in an incident covered statewide TV.

Burton estimated that there are  400 -500 pit bulls in East End, with many of them being hid by their owners.  She also mentioned a problem with pit bulls in the Indian Mounds area.

On a recent, hot June Friday afternoon, a “momma dog” and her litter of approximately 2 week old puppies, were dropped off inside the gate at the city’s trash transfer station, which also houses the city pound.  (this is not an appropriate or responsible action to take with animals.)

One of the small puppies fell into a drain pipe in the area, and couldn’t get out. (more…)
