1977: Clovis Animal Shelter officials announced plans to hand out more citations while picking up fewer strays.
"We're going to concentrate on giving citations," Animal Warden Junior Romero said. "The people are at fault for letting their dogs run loose, not the dog."
Animal shelter personnel were instructed by city officials to "follow the dogs home and mail a citation to the dog owners," the Clovis News-Journal reported.
A first citation carried a $10 fine. Fines would increase with each citation, up to $100, Romero said.
