Show up Tues 3/3 for Puppy Mill Motion
MOTION TO INVESTIGATE LA COUNTY
"PUPPY MILLS" TO BE INTRODUCED!
OPEN FORUM TUESDAY, MARCH 3RD
GOOD NEWS FOR PUPPY MILL DOGS!
As a result of LCA's participation with the L.A. County Task
Force to eliminate puppy mills, we are pleased to announce that
a motion to investigate puppy mills will be introduced by
Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich on Tuesday, March 3, 2009.
"Many of these kennels endanger the health and welfare of adult
dogs and puppies by housing them in overcrowded and unsanitary
conditions without adequate veterinary care, food and water,"
said Antonovich. "This is cruel for the animals and places a
tremendous burden on County taxpayers."
Over the past six months, the County has had to seize and/or
order the relocation of hundreds of puppies and adult dogs due
to such conditions, which has increased the burden, costs and
impact on County shelters and rescue organizations.
Antonovich's motion calls on the County's CEO, County Counsel,
and County departments to report back with proposed ordinance
changes within forty five days.
