The people of Naperville have spoken and now it is time for you and all city council members to pass the ordinance to formalize this outcome.
Thank you to you and all the panelists. The Diversity Discussion tonight was outstanding. I felt hope and possibility in our work to lead with love. I especially appreciated the young man who called for youth involvement.
There was a group missing from the room that wasn't mentioned. The group that makes up part of the current White House occupant's base. They are here in our neighborhoods too.
I am part of #StandOnEveryCorner at the Corner of Jackson and Webster 6-7pm on as many nights as we can make it. We bear witness, call out hate, and get out the vote.
There is a vocal, angry, and disapproving group of our neighbors that call out to us with their fear of diversity, their anger at a perceived loss of privilege, their intolerance of other's religions.
Some mentioned that inclusion starts with looking in the mirror and with parents. What if the parents are helping to spread the hate. How do we get them into dialogue? Most importantly, how do we get these neighbors to see we are all part of the same community and there is nothing to fear?
Thoughts to ponder for the next discussion. I look forward to it.
Looking good sir

Veterinary Professionals have defined this along with other insights to consider when adding a pet to the family. This link was created by them to define a responsible breeder vs an irresponsible breeder:
