District 7 City Councilwoman Marina Alderete Gavito unveiled three policy proposals Wednesday aimed at curbing San Antonio's stray- and dangerous-dog problems. Alderete was joined at the press conference by Raymond Najera, the son of an 81-year-old Air Force veteran who was mauled to death on the West Side last year.

"This was a promise I actually made to Raymond last year as I was campaigning, and I'm determined to keep my commitment to him," Gavito said of the proposals. There's no date set for a council discussion of the proposed changes, but Gavito said she hopes they'll be taken up quickly. "If we're just going to court and we're giving them a low fine or no fine at all, then there's no consequence for your dog being lost," Najera told theGavito also said she wants Animal Care Services to neuter all wandering dogs it captures at the owner's expense. Under the proposal, ACS wouldn't return animals to owners who refuse to pay.
