Dogs, Cats Will be Drugged in LA Animal Services “No Kill” Shelters – Brenda Barnette’s Final Legacy Details
ANIMAL WATCH-GM Brenda Barnette did not present the “Fear-Free Sheltering” concept at the April 13 Los Angeles Animal Services Commission meeting,
but deferred to LAAS Chief Veterinarian Dr. Jeremy Prupas to describe how impounded aggressive/dangerous dogs and cats exhibiting stress or anti-social behavior will be drugged with anti-anxiety medications to modify their reactions and speed up adoptions.
Of course, this is couched in politically correct terminology for the public and reduced to the designation, “Fear, Anxiety and Stress,” as the root cause of any unwanted or violent behavior.
