People in San Antonio who dump dogs and cats would face steep fines under new ordinance

San Antonio City Council this Thursday will consider an amended citywide ordinance that would slap steep financial penalties on those who dump animals at the dog pound. Proposed by Animal Care Services Director Jonathan Gary and Assistant City Manager David McCary, the ordinance would impose first-offense fines of $500 to $2,000 on those seen by a witness or caught on camera abandoning domesticated cats and dogs at the city facility. A second offense would result in a minimum penalty of $1,000, while subsequent offenses would rise to a minimum of $2,000.
