Winnipesaukee Forum - View Single Post - Humane Society rallying supporters to protest Meredith budget move

I read the article in the Laconia Daily Sun and was completely stunned. The amount of money Meredith is trying to save is literally a pittance! I was further astounded to read that LRHS was told they would be notified directly when the "Request for Bid" was issued, but instead they learned of it by reading the Daily Sun last Thursday.

For the life of me I cannot fathom why someone thought it would be a good idea to eliminate the services of the Humane Society from their budget. Particularly when these services have been performed by LRHS for the past 30 years at very little cost to the Town! Have the Selectmen actually studied the issue before coming up with this cost-cutting measure? I doubt it.

I urge anyone on this forum who lives in the town of Meredith to attend tonights meeting and voice their concern for the welfare of these unfortunate animals who cannot speak for themselves!
