Vote NO on metrics!
 
Adding metrics & treating animals as numbers instead of living beings is not be in the best interest of animal welfare. It will tax an already floundering public shelter system where open admission facilities would become the last resort for problem animals. Keep the current regulations in place & vote NO on the new metrics.
