A Real Furr Fight!

R. Joey Koopmans, B. Admin., Ward XII YEG City Councilor Byelection Candidate, Edmonton, Alberta

February XXIst, MMXVI

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

My Feline Son & Chief Campurrgn Strategist James Redwing aka "J.R." Cat Koopmans has reminded me of the impurrtance this day of Ward XII residents & other Edmontonians about being good to their animal friends. He has declared "total open warfurr" against animal abuse & I agree with him completely! In addition to having called in Animal Control twice for dead animals who were obviously harmed greatly before they suffered & died as I canvassed neighborhoods & dropped brochures, I have had residents tell me how upsetting it is for them their animals sometimes get hurt in the course of a crime(s) being committed against them & their families/property.

Sure, animal control & the Edmonton Humane Society are located on the north side of the river, but purrhaps a south side satellite Humane Society location to better deal with attacks on the south side of the city might be a wise move. In good times & bad, recession or great economy, we rely on our animal friends furr comfort & they should definitely be respected & not abused.

Pet Talk,

R. Joey
