Council Vote: KC Pet Project Stays Losing Animal Control Contract

A vote this afternoon provides the aftermath of public outcry and shock following a dude mauled to death by a pack of pit bulls . . . 

Also, just for #TBT lets not forget that this group promised MILLIONS in donations to build a new facility but never REALLY delivered until they won their current contract that's now getting stripped away. 

Here's the word:

The full city council Thursday voted unanimously to direct City Manager Brian Platt to “develop an implementation plan to insource animal control operations.”

If such a plan is approved by city council, it would strip animal control away from KC Pet Project, who won the contract almost five years ago. Under a one-year extension, KC Pet Project will run animal control until April 2025.
