Stop Item #3: Keep Austin’s Shelter Data Honest

Two ready-to-send emails. Pick your angle, copy, and send before the vote on September 25.

Item #3 would exclude “court-ordered” euthanasias from the Live Release Rate— hiding deaths, inflating metrics, and adding legal costs. Choose the message that fits your stance and update from your point of view. Both make the same ask: vote NO on Item #3 at the City Council meeting.


Please keep court-ordered euthanasias in the Live Release Rate- removing them hides deaths and erodes public trust.
