I'll be there. I'm in L.A. county, but this impacts everybody. Who else is planning on going? A big turnout for this last forum would be great.

Riverside County Forum - Mandatory Spay/Neuter - Mandatory Posted by: "Laura Atkinson" llatkinson@xxxxxxxxx lauraatkinson2002 Date: Mon Aug 21, 2006 6:54 pm (PDT) Riverside County Animal Control is holding the last of four scheduled Open Forums for community input on the proposed mandatory spay/neuter and mandatory microchipping ordinances. From the first forum, where AC was surprised to see the turnout in opposition to the proposed ordinances and took, but didn't answer questions, to the third forum where they took questions and then had a short answer/discussion period, there has been some small progress made in their understanding of why we oppose these ordinances. Please plan on attending the final Open Forum on Saturday, August 26 at 10 in the Riverside City Hall at 3900 Main Street, Riveside, CA Director Miller stated, at the last forum, that they're getting many letters *in support* of the ordinances, as well as many letters in opposition. If you can't attend, PLEASE write a letter to not only Director Miller, but each member of the Board of Supervisors asking them to oppose these ordinances.
