We are a group of concerned Broward citizens and animal lovers who insist upon real and permanent change at ACARD. For years, neither the Broward County Commissioners nor staff at ACARD have been committed to the changes recommended in the Petition detailed on page 2 (click on Petition button in left column to access Petition). We are among the millions of pet lovers in Florida and throughout the United States who are opposed to the inhumane treatment, and killing, of healthy and treatable animals at our shelters, including Animal Care and Regulation in Broward County. We are all professionals, and all constituents of the Broward County Board of Commissioners. We are ready to work cooperatively with the Board and the staff – but we are also committed to rallying public opinion and support in large numbers to effect change. If elected officials are intransigent, as they have been until now, then it’s time to support candidates for office who support the lives of these precious animals who are truly, our best friends!
Our mission and our effort is not without precedent: shelters in Charlottesville, Virginia; Tompkins County, New York; and Reno, Nevada have successfully effected change to no-kill in their county facilities. We can and MUST follow. |
