PROCLAMA TION
HOMELESS ANIMALS' DA Y
August 21, 1993
* * * * * * * * * *
WHEREAS, each year in public and private animal shelters across the United States some
ten to seventeen million dogs and cats are killed; and
WHEREAS, the only reason these animals' lives are taken is that there are too few
responsible people to adopt them; and
WHEREAS, the animal shelter personnel who perform the mass killing of dogs and cats
know this crisis can readily be solved, by preventing the births of these millions
of homeless animals by spaying or neutering; and
WHEREAS, the "killing solution" to the dog and cat overpopulation is one with which we
regrettably live; and
WHEREAS, the Humane Society of Gallatin Valley wishes to cause public awareness; and
WHEREAS, dogs and cats are dependent upon humans for responsible and humane care.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Timothy Swanson, Mayor of the City of Bozeman, do hereby proclaim
August 21, 1993 as
"HOMELESS ANIMALS' DA Y"
in the City of Bozeman, and encourage the citizens of Bozeman who accept the responsibility
for the care of dogs and cats to accept the responsibility for having them spayed or neutered
to stop the continuous killing of animals born to be homeless.
SEAL IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set
my hand and caused the Great Seal of the
City of Bozeman, in the State of Montana, to
be affixed at Bozeman, Montana, this 16th
day of August in the year of our Lord One
Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-three.
