Not All Good for Cats and Dogs?
I wonder who anitgeekess is. She obviously does not know Elaine Godzak, but relys on what she reads. Same with her statistics from SDHS. Did you not know that the adoption and euthanasia records you are quoting from are apples and oranges? The first one is just San Diego Humane, Gaines St. The second one is both North and South. And the statistics we are asking for are not in those reports. We, in Oceanside, want to know what happened to the dogs and cats that were trucked down from Oceanside to San Diego between Jan 11 and July 4th. We are asking about OUR dogs and cats. The animals that our animal control contract pays for. We want to know how many were adopted, how many reclaimed, how many sent to resuce and how many were euthanized. Mark Goldstein has instructed his attorney, his public relations person and his staff to refuse the City of Oceanside their request for these numbers. Oh--about Pit Bulls. Elaine and I have personally funded a spay/neuter clinic for pitbulls. We work with SNAP to spay and neuter as many of these breed and mixes thereof as possible. We work with the low income areas of Oceanside--Every month we work with community groups, neighborhood kids and homeless dudes to get them to understand the problem we have in Oceanside: too many pitbulls! We are well aware of the overpopulation. But when I asked San Diego Humane Society to help us spay and neuter, they said no. Why? "Oh, we don't want to be in competition with vets". Trust me. Any veterinarian worth his or her salt knows that the people we work with are not able to afford retail services. Anyway, my point is that San Diego Humane Society does not necessarily always tell the truth, or do the right thing for animals. We need to push them a little, to make them see that they can do more with a $10 million budget, to find homes for the animals who are homeless, and to turn off the tap of unwanted animals by creating a robust spay and neuter program. I'm not a pit bull advocate, but they are the main breed in Oceanside. I want to save the good ones and cut back the breeding of the nasty guys. It's a slog, but it's doable if we work together.— July 6, 2010 7:40 a.m.
