Catching Kitties! January 6th, 2009 by Admin | No Comments »

Ronnie has come a long way for a rabbit that was raised to breed. This footage was taken between 2 and 3 months after he was neutered. His overall progress is: 1 week -- stopped spraying urine 2 weeks -- started using litter box 2 months -- humping behavior significantly reduced He still runs circles around people, but I think this is his way of saying, "Happy to see you!"

a short video showing how to band a pygmy goat, thus creating a wether. This video was made to show how it is done. I think it is more humane than other methods.

There are other options! Santa Barbara could join the shelter communities who have embraced the No Kill Agenda and worked as a community to solve its problems. http://www.nokilladvocacycenter.org/ Call and write your County Supervisors. http://www.countyofsb.org SB County Shelter Data: http://www.naiashelterproject.org/shelter_chart.cfm?shelter_id=911&state=CA It would be irresponsible of Animal Control, the Board of Supervisors, Veterinary Professionals and the pet owning community to fail to weigh the relative costs and benefits of neutering on the individual animal's health and well being deciding the age for such surgery at the right time for that individual. The decision for females is more complex, further emphasizing the need for individualized veterinary medical decisions, not standard operating procedures for all.

"Perhaps it is no coincidence that the nation's largest animal rights group, The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), appeared frequently in the county during this period, through consulting work at shelters, giving a national leadership award to Santa Barbara state legislator Pedro Nava, praising Shelter Director Jan Glick for her work on issues ranging from wild horse rescue to dog fighting investigations, and working closely with activist and local veterinarian Dr. Ron Faoro on failed statewide mandatory spay/neuter legislation. HSUS has nothing to do with local humane societies or helping animals. Instead, it is a national political lobbying group that pushes the animal rights agenda. Its head, Wayne Pacelle, has been quoted repeatedly expressing opposition to animal ownership and breeding in any form." January 6th, 2009 by Admin | No Comments »

UNEDITED Implementing the No-Kill Equation LA Animal Services has long been committed to making Los Angeles a "No-Kill" community for animals. "No-Kill" is defined as getting LA Animal Services to the place where only dangerously aggressive and terminally ill and injured animals are euthanized. In other words, no animal will be euthanized, or killed, because the community lacks the space or the resources to properly care for and place an animal in a loving home. Over the past several years LA Animal Services has implemented numerous programs and policies to achieve No-Kill with some remarkable success. To help hasten LA's progress, some have asked LA Animal Services to consider a purportedly new approach called "The No Kill Equation". Proponents of "The No-Kill Equation" claim it provides a revolutionary formula to help local animal care and control agencies achieve "No-Kill". In fact, the "No-Kill Equation" is actually comprised of ten commonsense, long-standing practices embraced and implemented to various degrees by LA Animal Services. To help better familiarize concerned Angelenos with LA Animal Services' efforts to achieve "No-Kill" and at the same time gather input and feedback on how we could do better, we are scheduling a series of public workshops to focus on the ten tenets of the "No-Kill Equation". District 8 Council Member Bernard Parks will host the first workshop. It is scheduled for Wednesday, August 6th at 6:30 p.m. High Volume/Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Work Shop The Constituent Service Center 8475 South Vermont (near Manchester) Los Angeles, CA 90048 January 6th, 2009 by Admin | No Comments »
