An older gentleman came to Detroit Animal Control today (Dec 2015) to get shots & licenses for his 3 dogs. He said he had been wanting to get this done for months, but he was very worried...
Last spring he didn't finish his probation for driving on a suspended license (he completed it all, but couldn't pay his fines) so he has a warrant.
He was worried if he went to Detroit Animal Control, he would be arrested because it's also a police department. <<He thought
He seen the news story this week with Mayor Odette, Red, The Birds, & Lucky...
VIEW THE STORY HERE
He knew that if unlicensed, his dogs were more likely to end up in the diseased filled facility of Detroit Animal Control... His dogs would be neglected, left to sit in their own waste. They would not be leaving the DAC facility the same happy healthy pet they came in as; if they ever left at all.
He said "I knew I couldn't wait any longer, no matter what happened to me"
He even brought a friend to take his dogs "just in case"
*yes, We informed him he was fine, this was not a police station, they weren't cops, & they weren't going to run his name (they can't even run a credit card machine)
THIS SIGN IS A LIE, THIS SIGN IS INTIMIDATING THE CITIZENS, THIS SIGN NEEDS TO GO!!
*guarantee some people are afraid to fight for their dogs because this misrepresenting sign makes them feel like they've got no choice.
>>> This sign is a violation of michigan law <<<
750.33a Character or extent of business misrepresentation; penalty.
Sec. 33a.

This is NOT a police department. This sign is designed to intimidate citizens. This false sign needs to be removed!
I believe the sign should be removed so people dont worry thinking they can or will never get their family members back
Miss-leading people to believe their pet will be surrendered to the police department.... This is NOT a police station....
Not a police station. Detrimental to the public. Remove false advertising sign!
Remove the sign and close down Detroit Animal Control until it's is disease free and there is a new director and staff in place. Fire Harry Ward, and let Detroit residents know where all the "cash payments only" Are going, and why is Detroit Animal Control not using the credit/debit card machine that was provided to track ALL payments to Detroit Animal Control. This facility is so corrupt, why does Mayor Duggan allowing this to continue?
Please remove the sign. DPW? It does not belong on the building.
Get it right! Geez!!!

DAC has been in violation of many laws. First and foremost it has been a death trap for the animals on site. The sign was put up to intimidate citizens. The DAC falls under the auspices of the Department of Agriculture, not the DPD. This sign needs to be removed. Furthermore it is against the law and all. City offices should be obeying the laws of the State.
