Re “Board approves framework for socially conscious sheltering,” Aug. 8 issue
Unfortunately, “socially-conscious” sheltering is just the latest in a series of attempts by neglectful, fossilized shelter bureaucrats to discredit the commonsense programs of the “No Kill” sheltering movement.
L.A. County is one of the most regressive animal control systems in the state of California.
And, in a clearly self-serving effort to cover up their reported neglect, their rampant waste of taxpayers’ money and their continued reliance on euthanasia as a primary means of addressing animal homelessness, they’ve changed the name of the euthanasia-centered paradigm they operate in while changing none of its inhumane practices.
This is nothing more than an attempt to rebrand euthanasia-centered sheltering to make it sound like they’re being ethical, when what they’re really doing is creating a protected space for county bureaucrats to continue killing healthy and treatable animals. L.A. deserves better.
