WEB SPECIAL: Animal committee mulls spay/neuter program

BY KIRSTEN BEATTIE: SPECIAL TO THE PILOT

(Updated: 10:50 a.m. Thursday) A county pet advocacy group is driving forward with its plans to make Robbins the first focus area for a low-cost spay/neuter campaign.

"Drive is a very important word," said Angela Zumwault, chairwoman of the county's Citizens' Pet Responsibility Committee, "because lots of people come up with ideas and very few drive them."

The committee reviewed plans during its Wednesday meeting for the best way to work with Robbins leading up to the spay/neuter event, tentatively scheduled for April 2007.

The committee, commissioned by Moore County, seeks to find solutions to the pet overpopulation problem in the county. It represents school, breeder, hunter and animal cruelty, welfare and shelter interests.

The committee's five teams -- Education, Spay/Neuter, Placing Homeless Pets, Focus Area Concept and Communications/Publicity -- presented the results of their work sessions since the group's May 24 meeting.

In addition to each of the team's reports, Maureen Burke-Horansky presented information on feral cats.
