Yes, you can. I live in Alameda County and I spoke
to the Commission about the pet store ban. It also
helps that you are an animal rescue volunteer in
an organization that places animals from the San
Francisco shelters.

at 11/16 Animal Welfare Commission meeting
Dear fellow animal lovers,
If you care about the fact that adoptable animals
are being killed in San Francisco shelters, and if
you'd like to express your opinion about having
San Francisco become a no-kill city (no, sadly,
San Francisco is NOT a no-kill community), please,
please come to the meeting of the Animal Welfare
Commission next TUESDAY, November 16, starting at
5:30 pm in Room 408.
Please attend, and please spread the word --
forward this email as widely as possible.
The animals of San Francisco thank you.
(The meeting is being held on a Tuesday this month
because of Veterans Day.)
Nadine May
I just wanted to clarify that the meeting is on
TUESDAY November 16th (not Thursday as it is
stated in the agenda).
Thank you.
Please note:
5. Unfinished Business
A) The Commission will discuss and take possible
action to table indefinitely the issue of whether
or not San Francisco should mandate that all city
shelters not euthanize any adoptable animal or any
animal that would be adoptable after behavioral or
medical intervention. The Commission has discussed
various aspects of this issue over the course of
the past two years. In May 2010, the Commission
said it would revisit the issue in three months,
and this agenda item fulfills that commitment.
[Discussion/Action Item] [Commissioner Brooks]
Please come (and bring as many people as you'd
like), speak out and support No Kill in San
Francisco. This may be the last opportunity to
tell the commission that we STILL need legislation
in San Francisco if we want to ensure that truly
adoptable animals are not killed.

6. New Business
A) Discussion and possible action to send a letter
to the Recreation and Park Department regarding
what can be done to improve communication with the
Department about vegetation removal in Golden
Gate Park (and other city parks) and its impact on
wildlife and feral cats. Recent construction at
the Sharon Art Studio bulldozed, with little
warning, a clump of thick habitat used by wildlife
and feral cats. The cats had lived there for
thirteen years and have not been seen since the
bulldozing. However, vegetation (habitat) removal
in the parks has been and is an ongoing problem.
