Yesterday the City of Los Angeles had on the agenda to consider whether to support SB250. Since the Mayor's Office has been sending people, at City expense, to Sacramento for each hearing, it seems that he has unilaterally decided to support this. He is evidently not concerned about the increased killing in Los Angeles since the end of February. Kill rates for dogs are up 24%.
His advisors, including SB250 sponsor, who was at the City Council meeting today, would say that the reason the numbers are so bad is that the economy and home foreclosures are so bad. But, as the chart below shows, the numbers in Los Angeles far exceed those elsewhere in the State. And this Chart specifically shows counties with high foreclosure rates and where the economy is far worse than Los Angeles.
Maybe the City Council just wants company. Unfortunately it would come at the expense of owned dogs and cats.
