RED ALERT: Stop SF Pet Ban Now!
 

RED ALERT: Stop SF Pet Ban Now!
The San Francisco Commission of Animal Control and Welfare will vote tonight 7/8/10 on a recommendation to enact an ordinance that would prohibit the sale of pets by pet stores. The proposal originally targeted dogs and cats, but as voted on by the Commission appears to include Reptiles, Amphibians & Tropical Fish as well potentially feeders. This could potentially ban all pets in San Francisco.

Please take Action Now to Stop the San Francisco Pet Ban!

Are y'all SURE this is the right place to send emails, that is in the instructions with the USARK emails? Here is the response I got today, after following USARK's instructions and sending my response:

Thank you for your recent email about a proposal to ban the sales of birds and animals from pet stores in San Francisco.

We recently have received a number of contacts about this issue. However, looking back two months, I do not see any legislation introduced at the Board of Supervisors that would ban the sales of birds and animals. Perhaps another body (the Animal Care and Control Commission?) may be discussing this issue?

Thanks for your input, "
