Animal Services Department COSta
DATE: July 26, 1993 County
SUBJECT: HOMELESS ANIMALS' DAY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
93/485
WHEREAS, each year in public and private animal shelters across the
United States some twelve to seventeen million dogs and cats are killed,
and
WHEREAS, the only reason these animals' lives are taken is that
there are too many animals and too few responsible people to adopt them,
and
WHEREAS, this crisis can readily be 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, we, the Board of Supervisors of Contra Costa
County, proclaim August 21, 1993, as "Homeless Animals' Day," and
FURTHER, we hereby urge all residents to accept responsibility for
the care of their dogs and cats, including having them spayed or
neutered to prevent the birth of animals destined to be homeless and to
be killed in animal shelters.
