Animal Overpopulation Town Hall set for January

City of Evansville

Evansville Mayor Stephanie Terry will lead the session Wednesday, Jan. 15 at CK Newsome

A town hall meeting is set for next month to discuss animal overpopulation in Evansville. WNIN’s John Gibson has details:

Officials say Mayor Stephanie Terry will host the meeting Wednesday, January 15th, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. at the CK Newsome Center.

A panel of representatives from Animal Care & Control, the Vanderburgh Humane Society, PAAWS, and It Takes a Village will discuss a partnership to deal with the issue.

After their discussion, they’ll take questions from the public.

Mayor Terry notes Animal Control officers recently had to pull more than 50 dogs from a single home.

After the pandemic, animal overpopulation became a significant issue across the country.

The Town Hall will discuss the issue in Evansville, and what local organizations are doing to combat it.
