Cites better uses for taxpayers' money

Editor, The Chronicle

I don't understand some things about the new Richmond County animal shelter hiring a new veterinarian and constructing a $2.5 million facility to house and care for the animals.

One news report stated that the problem in the old facility was that dogs with distemper were being mixed with the dogs without distemper.

Can't they just give a distemper shot to every animal entering the shelter? A shot would be a whole lot cheaper than a $2.5 million shelter being built with the taxpayers' money.

I can think of a lot of other facilities to construct for $2.5 million than an animal shelter, like a place for batteredabused women and children or spend the money toward all the faulty water pipes in the city.

Glenda Edwards, Martinez
