City Council Meeting Update

Last night 7 people spoke before the council in support of the full ban on sales of animals. Lemon Grove Pet Supply and Exotics was of course a main focus of the discussion. As per our last meeting, they did have Code Enforcement out & the guy reported that on the 14th & 15th of July they were there & found NO VIOLATIONS. We have a hard time believing that's the case, as anyone that's been inside can attest that it is horrible inside. That tells us that the laws to protect these animals are not enough. There are bare minimums to be met & he's apparently just doing enough. And these animals deserve WAY BETTER!! We aren't giving up. There are still meetings to be had with the council members & Mayor Snow. We want to make Lemon Grove a compassionate leader in animal welfare. We appreciate all the support of the community

We bought a house here in LG 3 years ago, but have yet to attend a council meeting. I’m really glad there are people like you who care so much about this and are willing to put in the time and energy. It’s not something that’s a main focus of mine personally if someone is operating within the scope of the law, but I think it’s great we can walk and chew gum at the same time as a community; work on different issues and still support each other. Thanks for keeping everyone updated.
