Lost-Pet Notices Should Be Legal
- Share via
An important exception is needed to the new law prohibiting the posting of notices on public property (Jan. 2) such as power poles and light poles: lost-pet notices.
A missing cat, dog, parrot or other non-human family member is a feeling being in a potentially desperate situation. A dozen neatly made photocopied posters with a description and a phone number can be an effective means of reuniting a lost pet and its family. For many low-income folks it is the only potentially effective means of making a lost-pet announcement.
I hope the City Council will write into the statute an explicit missing-pet waiver.
