To Lexington & Richland County Council Members Don\'t spend our money foolishly. We the undersigned feel there is no legitimate reason for taxpayers to provide a multi-million dollar Adoption Center for Project Pet, an organization that has never operated a shelter or a spay/neuter clinic and has no experience with development of educational programs. Overpopulation and the resulting animal suffering can only be remedied by an aggressive Spay/Neuter program. We believe that PETS, Inc. has presented an innovative and easily implemented program that will enlist the support of all area animal rescue agencies, therefore giving the taxpayers of Lexington and Richland Counties the best return for their investment. Let\'s do it for the animals! Over 60,000 spays will prevent far more suffering than a pretty building in Harbison. It\'s the right thing to do.

The petition reached 500 signatures today. I am currently drafting a formal letter to both the Lexington and Richland County Council members requesting a meeting to discuss the PETS Inc proposal. I will notify you once I receive a response regarding a scheduled time for this review.

The scale of this response is compelling enough to move our proposal directly to the attention of the County Council. I have scheduled a formal briefing with two key committee members to present the alternative spay and neuter initiative. We will provide a status report on that meeting once it concludes.

The petition has reached 100 signatures. I am drafting a formal letter to the council members now to outline our proposal for funding spay and neuter programs instead of new construction.

Seriously? Another building? Put that money toward spaying. My vet bills are insane and this just ignores the real issue.

TRUTH. A building cant spay a dog. Stop wasting our tax dollars on vanity projects.

We dont need more fancy buildings. We need to fix the actual problem. Spay and neuter is the only way to help these poor animals.

Total waste of funds. Fix the overpopulation first.

Waste of money. Harbison is already crowded enough. Focus on the animals, not the brick and mortar.

The animals deserve help not a new office for people with no experience. Listen to the taxpayers for once.
