Letter to the Editor: Cruelty ignored

Dear Editor:
The Nov. 29 issue published Meeker ordinance 7 on page 16A, outlining changes to titles 6, 9, and 10 of the Meeker municipal code. The ordinance appears to repeal chapter 9.4 which prohibits animal cruelty and neglect in Meeker. Nowhere else in the Meeker code is animal cruelty and neglect mentioned.
Colorado statute 18-9-202 makes animal cruelty and neglect illegal in Colorado. So maybe it’s redundant to also include it in the Meeker…
