OF
CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, STATE OF CALIFORNIA
In the Matter of Homeless
Animals Day in Contra Costa RESOLUTION NO. 92/568
County, August 22, 1992
WHEREAS, each year in public and private animal shelters
across the United States some ten to seventeen million dogs and
cats are killed, and
WHEREAS, the only reason these animals ' lives are taken
is that there are too few responsible people to adopt them, and
WHEREAS, the animal shelter personnel, or the "dark
angels, " who perform the mass killing of dogs and cats know this
crisis can be readily solved, by preventing the birth of these
millions of homeless animals by spaying and neutering, and
WHEREAS, the "killing solution" to the dog and cat
overpopulation is one with which we regrettably live, and
WHEREAS, dogs and cats are dependent upon humans for
responsible and humane care,
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that we, the Board of
Supervisors of Contra Costa County, proclaim August 22, 1992, as
"Homeless Animals ' Day" in Contra Costa County, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that citizens who accept the
responsibility for the care of dogs and cats should also accept
the responsibility for having them spayed or neutered to stop the
continuous killing of animals born to be homeless.
PASSED on August 11, 1992 by unanimous vote of the Board
members present.
I hereby certify that the foregoing is a true and
correct copy of an action entered on the minutes of said Board of
Supervisors on the date aforesaid.
Witness my hand and the Seal of the
Board of Supervisors affixed this
11th day of August, 1992.
