The AR crowd is spreading misinformation about the numbers of cats and dogs impounded in Chula Vista, in order to drum up support for the MSN law.
Below is an article based on a recent TV report. "A huge jump in stray cats and dogs"? Where is the evidence of that? Claiming there is a spike in impounds? That is just plain false. There is a reduction of intakes this past year of 316, and a reduction in "euths" by 185....based on the CVAC own data.
Please, come to the town hall meeting next Saturday, October 29. Let city officials know that you are opposed to these proposed laws. We need a show of solidarity! If passed in Chula Vista, these ideas will likely soon spread to surrounding communities.

Chula Vista mulls mandatory spay, neuter program
By James Koh
CHULA VISTA, Calif. - Chula Vista officials are conducting public meetings to discuss a potential program that would force pet owners to spay and neuters their animals.
A huge jump in stray cats and dogs has meant ballooning costs for an animal services department that covers the Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, National City, and Lemon Grove areas.
"There's definitely a spike but some of it can be attributed to the economy," .....
Ramirez said the city is also considering a mandatory microchipping or registration program as well.
"We're looking for options to stem that flow," Ramirez said.
