A DoggieREscue .com supporter has asked for candidates for Hornsby Council to put their hands up if they will put forward a motion for Hornsby Council to operate a No Kill pound.
I can go 90% of the way. I will be happy to put a motion that Hornsby Council use a no kill pound located either in the shire, or no more than 15km from the Shire boundaries.
Richard Boult, A ward candidate for the Greens.
The Greens have a comprehensive policy on Animal Welfare, including Companion Animals, which can be summarised as:-
VALUE ANIMALS LIVES
The way we treat animals reflects the way we treat ourselves and our society. The Greens work to ending unnecessary animal cruelty.

Richard B Active-Citizen Timmy was featured in the Hornsby Bush Telegraph, and was part of our family within a couple of hours of me telling the kids we could probably get a second dog.
~~~~~ Our second dog Siena was a 6 month puppy about 2 hours away from being killed when we saved her by fostering via the Australian Working Dogs Rescue Inc. She is so affectionate that she is now a permanent member of our family. We had to go out to somewhere around Camden to get her. I agree with ~~~~ that this is an outstanding pledge from one of our Greens candidates.
