Fwd: American Federation of Aviculture Exotic Bird Re-homing Proposal
by Elizabeth Young 16 Aug '10

I'd encourage leadership to look at this and provide an official Mickaboo opinion/recommendations ASAP. Entirely separate from this proposal, I wanted to know if: - anybody has taken the AFA Avian Fundatementals online course? (I'd love to but REALLY need to redirect my energy back to MickaCoo which has suffered from my reduced time investment) - if so, what your impressions are Thanks, Elizabeth ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Pam Hemphill <pam.hemphill(a)gmail.com> Date: Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 2:40 PM Subject: Fwd: American Federation of Aviculture Exotic Bird Re-homing Proposal To: Philip Gerrie <glassgerrie(a)earthlink.net>, Sally Stephens < stephensfw(a)mindspring.com>, Rebecca Katz <Rebecca.Katz(a)sfgov.org>, Kat Brown <Kat.Brown(a)sfgov.org>, Elizabeth Young <adoptkings(a)gmail.com>, Jack Aldridge <drjackthevet(a)yahoo.com> Hi All, I gave Mary Ellen LePage my email at the last Commission meeting because she was requesting a contact to send us her "solution" to the homeless bird problem.

I am not sure why she talks about the SPCA and not ACC. She may not be clear about those details.

I think it is simple, cost saving and will be effective. I hope for success in San Francisco so that it will spread cross country. San Francisco helped the American Federation of Aviculture recognize your problem so that we can offer a solution. I would like to work with your commission and animal control on a one-to-one basis. I can come to San Francisco to meet with you. Although I own a small property in San Francisco, I live in the Santa Cruz Mountains about 2 hours' drive from San Francisco, therefore telephone contact is good, also. I am very excited about this program and dedicated to its success. Please distribute the proposal to the commission and let me know how we can proceed to the next step. Thank you for your help.

Really all they've done is place themselves over all the bird rescues. And what's the deal with calling adopters "volunteers"? Indeed a sloppy piece of work. -----Original Message----- Date: Monday, August 16, 2010 4:05:42 pm To: "Mickaboo media advisor team" <media-advisors(a)mickaboo.org> From: "Elizabeth Young" <adoptkings(a)gmail.com> Subject: Re: [Media-advisors] Fwd: American Federation of Aviculture Exotic Bird Re-homing Proposal Interesting how their help is offered contingent on the continued sale of birds. So, if bird sales are banned, all these exotic homeless birds that need help can go screw themselves (my words). Question: Do dog and cat breeders acknowledge that there is a dog and cat overpopulation problem? (Sidebar- If you asked the 40 million "surplus" dogs and cats that are being euthanized each year in this country, I bet they'd say there's a problem.) e On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 4:00 PM, Tammy Azzaro <tammyazzaro(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Easy.

I'm not replying in an official capacity. As a jane doe I would have these questions: 1- how will the surrendered birds live out their lives? As pets or breeders or? 2- to their first bullet point - what happens if afa cannot find a new home and the surrenderer cannot take the bird back? 3-does the offer extend to the wild parrots of telegraph hill? 4-what about birds who are anonymously surrendered (left at spca's doorstep, so to speak)? or found at a park, backyard, etc? 5-4th bullet point - does 'animal agency' mean the spca (1st bullet point)? Do they have bird experts now? 6- second-to-last bullet point -- what are the 'other alternatives'?

Cool quote for other pioneers
by Mary Long 14 Aug '10

14 Aug '10

Had to share this cool quote tonight after the Singularity Summit: Dr. Terry Sejnowski asked Dr. P., referring to all ultra harsh-scrutiny studying animal cognition esp. in the early years, “Do you know the difference between the pioneers and those that follow? The pioneers have the arrows in their backs.” So figure, as this pet-store ban continues to move forward - everyone who has helped to move this ban along will be able to recognize one-another by the arrows collected.

Pet Ready Proposal
by Karen Watkins 14 Aug '10

14 Aug '10

Hi Teresa, Thank you for your excellent work preparing and presenting the Pet Ready certification proposal to the Animal Welfare Commission Thursday. We need people who share their vision about offering a better future for companion animals. I'm very detail-oriented so I am not a visionary. I can't fully support the certification proposal until I see more details. At least the commissioners understand what some of the issues are going to be implementing a certification. I do hope that the Pet Ready certification will be a model program in addressing the companion animal issues in our communities. Best, Karen Watkins
