OK, Boks is gone. IMHO, he couldn’t have resigned fast enough.
Now what are we going to do about Stu? This dog has been in impound for over four years. He has been deemed NOT DANGEROUS and NOT AGGRESSIVE. Yet, despite his owner’s best efforts, the best efforts of the Commissioners on the Board of LA Animal Services, and the best efforts of 1000’s of private citizens, he is scheduled to be euthanized July 23, 2009.
Time is of the essence. Please, please go to the following links and familiarize yourself with this travesty of justice. The Due Process violations have all been well-documented. The city of Los Angeles would rather kill this dog than admit and rectify their mistakes. Please help Stu stay alive. He was impounded in his prime. He is now over 10-years old. Help us get him home to live his final years at the side of his loyal human companion, Jefferey.

Fixed. Have I mentioned lately how little sleep I’ve had since the puppies were born? :)

The question is, would someone who is truly no-kill oriented take the job?

If you don’t advocate the grinding of breeders and other “animal-abusers” into the ground and march lock-step with the AR agenda, the extremists are critical to say the least. If you don’t play politics, you may not last long enough on the job to do anything effective.

Maybe someone with nerves of steel, could get it moving in the right direction, but IMO, the atmosphere in L.A. right now is poison.

Perhaps good results, REAL ones (lookin’ at you Eddie) would speak for themselves?

Good god I hope I’m wrong but L.A. just seems like Sisyphus’ rock when it comes to animal welfare, as of late

thanks for the update on what’s up with ed boks and the recommendation for Bonnie Brown to run LAAS - or someone who will advocate for No Kill - you all at the Pet Connection are the best - wonderful common sense and great information - thanks for the work you do.
