Spoke to the ASPCA legal about this directly for my radio show on Pet Life Radio. Attorney/sen. gov. advisor Debora Bresch gives details. Outreach by A and other pet rescues has included making the tenant's rights memos available in mobile spay/neuter vans, local reps offices, and at the shelters. I'm torn whether animal advocates should have taken a more proactive approach to disseminate the memo and list of rights (door-to-door, mailings) but you never know how those things are going to go, either.
Guys, four days left left. (Maybe less, as 31st falls on a Sunday) Right around the corner. And you know how slow bureucracy/paperwork moves. Take care of this today. We've been reporting on this since the summer so please follow through and let us know if you have any trouble.
Please note important (very important) changes in terms of weight limit restrictions on dogs--any type of dogs--in NYCHA buildings. Memos in English and Spanish.

There's a lot of interesting background here. Indeed, some of the most staunch supporters of the pit bull/pit bull mix ban in the projects have been people who devote their lives to rescuing pit bulls. They say they themselves have witnessed the criminal brew there in terms of pit bull fighting, abuse, etc. So who am I (or any of us) to question what they themselves have witnessed first-hand. But with the overall weight restriction--new dogs can only be 25 pounds or less--think about the reprecussions of that. Seriously--think about how many (and especially what type) of dogs are under 25 pounds. Not too many of these in the shelters.
