LAGUNA WOODS MEETING ON MARCH 18th

Don't forget that the Laguna Woods City Council meeting is this Wednesday at 2:00 pm. The City Council has been particularly unwilling to meet with their constituents to discuss this issue. Although it is hard to imagine the Council taking definitive action before they replace the member who died earlier, they are being pushed hard by Judie Mancuso. The City Manager recently told someone she is not involved; she is just their 'guest'.

You will be hearing more in the coming weeks about building the CDOC Legal Fund which will do more than just fund the LA City lawsuit. Again, here is a community that is considering an ordinance for which there is no rational argument. And as proposed, it has jail time for miscreants. This is a city where 80% of the resident live in Leisure World and are senior citizens.

We sympathize with the Laguna Woods residents who are upset with loose animals on their yards. But the answer to that is enforcing leash laws; not requiring surgery.

There exists nuisance ordinances that, if properly enforced, will take care of the issues such as roaming at large, noisy barkers, and even too many pets for one residence. Forced sterilization is not the answer. And it should not be such a criminal act to own an intact pet especially if the pet is not a roamer, noisy, or stinky. Isn't it time that we realize the issues are not the reproductive rates of pets. We have a system that is broken. We have ANIMAL CONTROL rather than ANIMAL SERVICES. We have fear rather than partnerships. In a society where a knock on the door can be a threat, it is no wonder we are all concerned.
