If you are a responsible and knowledgeable dog owner who opposes Mandatory Spay and Neuter, you probably have some not so fond memories of Allan Drusys*. He is the veterinarian in Riverside County who traveled all over the state with Judie Mancuso talking about why MSN was such a great policy. He spoke to local governments and was a speaker for Lloyd Levine and Dean Florez. And Drusys prefaced all his talks by stating that he was an elected official - he was on the Yucaipa City Council.
Well no more. PUPPY - People Understand Pet Population in Yucaipa decided they had had enough of Drusys. So PUPPY (a) supported the candidates who are reasonable and (b) got the word out in Yucaipa about Drusys including his repressive animal policies in Riverside. And the two candidates supported by PUPPY - Masner and Bogh were elected to the Yucaipa City Council. So congratulations to all the people across the state who had finally had enough and who joined forces with good candidates.
As Edmond Burke said "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." Responsible dog owners are taking action all over California. Thank you.
*A personal favorite was when Drusys was asked by Council Member Bill Rosendahl at an LA City Council Meeting about the failure of MSN in so many places across the country, Drusys got up and said that actually none of those municipalities had ever implemented it - they just passed it.
