Trying to get back to my criminalized dogs, but here is one more! SH PLEASE FORWARD FAR & WIDE! Begin forwarded message: From: Diane Jones <dianeelizabethjones@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Date: February 3, 2008 1:24:48 PM PST To: Diane Jones <dianeelizabethjonesdianeeliza> Subject: Are you going to let Santa Barbara County become like LA? Do you want Do you want to become like LA City and LA County who have now enforced Mandatory Spay and Castration? Do you realize that there are no breeder permits in SB County and that the limit of dogs you can have is three no matter where you live, the size of the dogs or acreage? This proposed change to the county does not address either breeder permits or increasing the dog limit. Are you ready to fight to improve Are you ready to fight to improve Santa Barbara's proposal (or eliminate) and will you be at the Forums in Santa Barbara County? They will most likely bus folks in to pack this room and their travel will be paid for by PETA and HSUS and Mancuso I bet. Santa Barbara is home to Pedro Nava- co author of AB 1634. Coincidence? I donâ??t think so. Is this mandate sponsored by the same people who tried to get the City of Is this manda to do a position statement supporting California Assembly Bill 1634? Iâ??d bet money on it. This legislation is the example of what not to do to succeed if you agree with the No Kill Movement. As a side note so is AB1634. Supporters of this mandate will push for harsher legislation as they did in LA.  Donâ??t you want Donâ??t you wan to be Dog Friendly?  Shouldnâ??t we be a beacon for progressive solutions not archaic? We must band together to improve or eliminate this mandate. Remember they have taken LA and stacked the agenda in LA City Council giving the opposing side experts no chance to speak. The LA City Council bowed down to Bob Barker and the â??celebritiesâ?? and the Cities own â??expertsâ??. We were setup to fail in LA and we will be setup to fail again in We were setup in 3 weeks unless we all band together. From a friend who was there in LA the opposition was an embarrassment. With the thousands of dog fanciers in LA area, we should have outnumbered them but we didnâ??t. Are you willing to help with some mailings to share the info with SB County Vets, other clubs? Are you willing to make phone calls? Can you donate funds to cover mailings and postage? I am but one person and Iâ??m looking for like-minded individuals to help us keep Santa Barbara a positive example for animal lovers. Are you willing to come up with a flyer to go to all dog friendly places including stores and to be handed out at parks? Please invite your friends your family, your co-workers, and neighbors to come out and fight for us and to write letters. Do you know any experts to invite to get involved in this fight? Have your written your letters to the Board of Supervisors? Can you write letters for friends and family? Have you read Redemption by Nathan Winograd? Our problems with animal population are better solved other ways that have proven success- and the No Kill Revolution founded by Nathan Winograd is the way forward that all animal lovers can support. http://www.nathanwinograd.com Listen to his podcast http://nathanwinograd.podbean.com Read his blog: http://nathanwinograd.blogspot.com Are you willing to help us stop MSN in Are you willing to help us stop MSN in Santa Barbara?  Donâ??t you think that we just need to improve education that promotes animal retention? Wouldnâ??t you like to see more proactive strategies in town over reactive? Please mark your calendar and plan to go to BOTH!  Carpool with friends! SOUTH COUNTY: Wed. Feb 27th, 6 pm,Santa Barbara County Public Health Dept Auditorium 300 N.
