"Toledo Councilman Jack Ford, a non-Catholic, said the Pope's comment compelled him Friday to move forward with calling for a program he had been mulling over. The councilman, who was once Toledo's mayor, publicly urged the director of Lucas County Canine Care & Control to embrace giving dogs sentenced to death a second chance and start a pilot program that uses an outside evaluator to help assess the animals.
"Mr. Ford, who was joined by councilmen Mike Craig and Rob Ludeman for a news conference, said the pound should consider “a stronger sense of basic fairness,” or due process, for dogs before the canines are killed.
“'I would like the dog warden to implement a pilot program for dogs, similar in concept to the guardian ad litem program we currently have for children, that would take the dog warden and her team out of the role of total evaluator, prosecutor, and ultimately executioner, and bring in an individual from the outside to evaluate the dog prior to final disposition of its life,' Mr. Ford said."
