Los Angeles County Meeting Regarding Proposed Kennel Regulations â?? Support Responsible Breeders Dear AKC Delegates, Club Officers, Judges and Breeders, Please forward this to your club members who live in the Los Angeles area. The Los Angeles County Department of Animal Care and Control will hold a meeting on Tuesday, November 30th to discuss proposed changes to the Animal Welfare Ordinance which affects breeders and kennel owners in the community. It is VITAL that responsible owners and breeders attend this meeting and support the local kennel owners! We understand that opponents of responsible breeders will be in attendance and are asking the county to write a new draft to include a limit on the number of dogs a breeder may own as well as rigid and burdensome engineering standards for crate sizes and exercise requirements. While questions and concerns still exist regarding the proposed draft, responsible kennel owners have worked positively with county staff and members of the local humane community to draft an ordinance which provides for reasonable, effective and enforceable regulations that protect the health and safety of animals while not placing excessive burdens on responsible breeders. Please attend and support responsible breeders in your community! Department of Animal Care and Control Meeting Tuesday, November 30th 1pm Fire Station 129 (small classroom) 42110 6th Street West Lancaster, CA 93534 For more information, please contact the AKC Government Relations Department at _doglaw@xxxxxxxx (mailto:doglaw@xxxxxxx) or 919-816-3720.
