Box 1032 Sdanir Beach, CA 92075 (629) 755- 1 700 May 11, 1990 City Council City of Carlsbad 1200 Elm St. Carlsbad, CA Dear Council Members: I want to call the council's attention to the fact that thl San Diego County Department of Anirnal Control has recently expanded pound seizure beyond the Bonita pound to include central "shelter:' which for many years has been exempt fr pet sales to UCSD's research labs. As usual, it is difficult to get definitive information fr Animal Control, so we still do not know whether this expan of pound seizure represents a net increase of pets going t UCSD, or whether the Palomar Road facility might also be t geted for pet sales under an unannounced yew policy. Since your'council is already on reccrd by contract addenc as disapproving pour.:! seizure, this year S.T.O.P. will be asking that you enact an ordinance prohibiting the sale b) Animal Control of any pets picked up in this city. This action has been taken by many cities in Los Angeles County (including L.A. City) and in hundreds of towns and cities across America where Anirnal Control is provided by the county. Unfortunatley, such a move r\r, ~OUL part will not end pounc seizure in San Diego County but will protect your constiti ant's pets and will place Carlsbad firmly in the columi of those cities opposed to sending pets to research labs. Enclosed for your consideration are some backup materials documents that I hope will help clarify the issue. v To shouts of "Blackmail" from the audience, Santee's city council wa? told at June 13 meeting that it would participate in pound seizure {the prdcrige of sc1li11; I'or research) or have its animal control contract terminated. prtshibiting the comfy from selling Santee's impounded pets for researcli. ,. a! 0 SEC D AMENDMENT TO THE AGREEMENT FOR ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF POWAY AND COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO ..
