What compassionate programs. And what should not. And they can see it as a regional problem, and they can take animals from out of county. And animal care and control does this. Against its mandate and so, please, reduce the budget, with the reduction in the sterile cat and dog populations. Thank you next speaker. Well, my name is kelley, and i am a long time volunteer at animal care and control and i greatly appreciate all of the work that it does to help the animals and the people of this city. I think that it is important that it remains a cityrun organization, with the clear transparency and remains open to all animals and it does not take animals from out of county despite what was previously said. And it focuses on San Francisco and i think that is very important. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker.

The cat needed to have the teeth removes and they declined that cat, and put on death row and another one had stones and was turned down and another cat turned down. And i just, i am not and in favor of a group that cherry picks its animals especially bringing in animals from out of county, and in favor of being the only Animal Shelter in the city, thank you. I am actually an animal care attendant at animal control but i am here as a private citizen and it is interesting all of the data and all of the statistics that have been put out and the presentation. But, let me tell you as supervisor weiner mentioned, you dont really realize everything that goes on until you visit our shelter. I have been there for six years and every day is a struggle and some days when we need to have 7 people working there are only four of us and we all have to overlook all of the animals needs from medical issues from behavior issues, and socializing them and making sure that they are okay and they receive t
Or down and wave our hands. And before we get to the next speaker, i have one additional card, to jennifer scarlott. Good afternoon, supervisors, my name is angela pedia and i have lived in district eight with my wife amy who is a fourth generation san franciscan and we are passionate about this city and passionate about helping this citys homeless animals. I am the founder of Northern California family dog rescue and i am also a former commissioner of animal control and welfare. And family dog rescue is an all breed volunteer Nonprofit Organization that saves over 500 dogs a year. This year we are on track to save over 700 dogs.

I came here on muni someone coughed behind me and i didnt have to worry that they had a disease that he couldnt deal with or whatever, thank you.
