Perhaps, you don't remember the case of Bella and the Santa Clara Humane Society. A couple of years ago, the Santa Clara Humane Society adopted out a dog by the name Bella. The owners of Bella had been looking for her at the shelter and had not seen her. Bella was adopted to another family. Public outcry was enormous. The Humane Society claimed they couldn't do anything about it. The public did do something about it. They kept in the news. They made the Humane Society look bad. Many people refused to contribute to the Humane Society after this. The executive director looked foolish. The adopting family looked like cruel, horrible, noncaring people. The news media may make a field day out of this fiasco. I am asking ABC7 to continue to pursue this by publicizing this misdeed until this wrong is made right. You might wonder why I care... I have pets. They are my best friends. And, when you lose your best friend, you lose everything. It hurts. This case doesn't have to turn out that way. Libby didn't have to lose her best friend. She didn't have to be hurt. The Animal Services Department told Libby she should come get her dog. Libby communicated with the Animal Services Department when she could not make it. In any case, she got there before the five day waiting period was over,which was the policy stated on the website. However,Animal Services just said that the website information was wrong. It seems that the Animal Services Department is more afraid of the new owner than the original owner. It makes me wonder if this is the case because Libby is a woman of color. I wonder if there is some discrimination in this situation. Lt. Nancy Anderson did a poor job of handling the interview on television. She really looked like a fool answering the questions. Animal Services was wrong in their handling of this situation. And, now, it needs to be fixed. • January 24, 2006 Board of Supervisors MeetingHandout: Agenda Item D.1, Public Comment e-mail received requesting the Board resist addressing National Policies <cc0 Ocontra.napanet.
