Raquel Reyna, a Cleveland resident, recounted a tragic incident where her dog was shot on a neighbor’s property despite having an owner. “The majority of us are here asking for help,” Reyna said, emphasizing the need for solutions to protect pets and punish irresponsible owners. Meanwhile, Angelica Oriente is working toward creating a shelter to care for dogs but says more is needed. “Taking care of one dog is a journey, but managing a pack is overwhelming,” she said. Oriente and others want laws that not only protect animals but also impose consequences on owners who abandon or mistreat them.
Many speakers pushed for more accessible spay and neuter programs to curb the stray population. Lisa Note, a lifelong Liberty County resident, has spent six years rescuing dogs. She called for events that provide low-cost spaying and neutering, stating she feels ignored by officials.
