San Antonio councilmembers skeptical Animal Care Services can enforce proposed rules
Oct 16, 2024
Members of City Council showed skepticism during a Tuesday meeting whether San Antonio's embattled Animal Care Services department has the bandwidth to enforce new proposals to curb the city's dangerous dog problem. Under proposed rules outlined by interim ACS Director Michael Shannon during council's Public Safety Committee meeting, the department would begin sterilizing dogs picked up on city streets and boost penalties for bad pet owners. The potential changes also would allow residents to anonymously file dangerous-dog affidavits.
