PRIVILEGE OF THE FLOOR Miss Virginia Guthrie, Executive Secretary of the Civic Planning Association, expressed the association's appreciation to the Council on its efforts made in cutting the budget on behalf of the taxpayers. She stated that the Council had been able to cut $500,000 in actual expenditures, and she thanked the Council for their diligence. Council President Nemeth indicated that thanks should also be given to the Controller's Office for its help in getting the correct figures. Mrs. Martha Flannagan, President of the Humane Society, indicated that she had been asked before the meeting about the use of tranquilizer guns on animals, and she stated that the Humane Society is against the use of this method of capture because it is inhumane. She indicated that she has received material on the subject from national organizations, and she referred to a statement of the Michiana Veterinary Association on the use of the tranquilizer guns. The association listed the following reasons for its stand: The guns are dangerous to any person that might cross the line of fire; the guns are inhumane because of the pain inflicted from the barbs; it is inhumane because animals have been killed from overdoses because the exact weight of the animal determines the amount of the tranquilizer needed; and it is inhumane because the use of the chemical in an il: or injured animal can produce death. She stated that the only justifiable use of the gun would be in those cases in which an animal must be captured such as in a bite case. Councilman Kopczynski asked if the Humane Society utilized any of this type of equipment, and Mrs. Flannagan indicated that it did not. She stated that the necessary equipment for capture of the animal without the use of the chemical drug was used by the society.
