Box 1032 Solma Beach, CA 92075 (619) 755- I700 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 t San Diego County Department of Animal Control has recent1 expanded pound seizure beyond the Bonita pound to include central "shelter',' which for many years has been exempt f pet sales to UCSD's research labs. As usual, it is difficult to get definitive information f Animal Control, so we still do not know whether this expa of pound seizure represents a net increase of pets going UCSD, or whether the Palomar Road facility might also be geted for pet sales under an unannounced r;rew policy. Since your'council is already on record by contract adden as disapproving pound seizure, this year S.T.O.P. will be asking that you enact an ordinance prohibiting the sale 1: 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 anc cities across America where Animal Control is provided by the county. Unfortunatley, such a move r\r. ~GUL part will not end pour seizure in San Diego County but will protect your constit ant's pets and will place Carlsbad firmly in the colun of those cities opposed to sending pets to research labs. Enclosed for your consideration are some backup material5 documents that I hope will help clarify the issue. To shouts of "BIackmail" from the audience, Santee's city council wa9 told a June 13 meeting that it wouid participate in pound seizure (the pracri6e of scllii for research) or have its animal control contract terminated. Santce city couiicilman Jim Bartell upbraided county animal control directoi SEmD AMENDMENT TO THE AGREE 8 o T FOR ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES BETWEEN THE CITY OF POWAY AND COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO I.
