Dog Attacks Fuel Rising Insurance Costs for All Homeowners Details
ANIMAL WATCH-In 2020, over 5,800 USPS mail carriers were victims of dog attacks and California was #1 in the nation, with 782 of those bites. That was almost double the number in Texas the #2 state with 402.
Also, in California this year, Los Angeles Animal Services’ recently retired-GM Brenda Barnette clawed her way to the top of the pack of statewide animal shelters competing for the acclaim (and monetary incentives) of becoming “No Kill.” This was achieved by releasing far too many aggressive Pit Bulls and other dogs with violent histories from the six City shelters in order to achieve the dubious distinction of a 90 percent “live save” rate.

A Tribute to LAAS Animal Control Officers – ‘Unsung Heroes’ Then and Now Details
ANIMAL WATCH-National Animal Control Officer Appreciation week was recognized and celebrated nationally from April 11–17, 2021, but was unnoticed or ignored at City of Los Angeles Animal Services by then-General Manager Brenda Barnette, until the afternoon of Thursday, April 15.

“It’s National Animal Care and Control Appreciation Week, and we want to say, Thank You to our amazing field staff, which includes Animal Control Officers and SMART team. We appreciate all the hard work you do to care for and assist our LA Community. Keep up the Fantastic Work.”
