I understand the intent of the bill...but I really doubt much will be accomplished. It's a very irresponsible pet owner who would allow one to roam freely enough to be caught 3 times. Would an irresponsible owner even claim the animal?
In my 27 years of owning pets of my own...only one has ever gone to "prison". The fact I paid his "bail" to retrieve him flabbergasted the worker at animal control so obviously some pet owners chose to reliquish the animal rather than paying a fine.
Another question...how exactly will they determine the animal is on it's third strike? Dog mug sheets? Paw prints? You've been here before bud.
PS My dogs want you to know...it was a CAT that went to prison.
