Birmingham seeks public input on new animal control laws to address rising stray dog numbers, safety risks, and shelter overcapacity.
Birmingham is seeking public input on updating its outdated animal control laws amid a rising crisis with stray and roaming dogs, which have led to violent incidents, strained city resources, and increased taxpayer costs.
With nearly 7,000 strays impounded annually and shelters at full capacity, many animals are euthanized due to space and health issues.
City leaders cite a lack of breeding regulations and mandatory spay/neuter laws as key factors.
Residents are encouraged to participate in a survey and attend a public meeting on October 15 to help shape new policies aimed at improving public safety and reducing the burden on city services.
