Advocacy group takes out billboards critical of San Antonio's animal-welfare record

An animal-advocacy group critical of the City of San Antonio's Animal Care Services leased out two billboards this week urging Alamo City residents to speak up against animal neglect and cruelty. Officials with Animal Advocates San Antonio told the Current that they took out the ads in response to ACS failing to meet self-imposed goals on improving its record — even though the city department got a 33% budget increase this fiscal year. Animal Advocates San Antonio, a frequent critic of ACS's live-release rate, is specifically upset that the department's goal for that metric is lower this year than last, even though officials now have $7 million more to work with.
