What Next?

A person who was at LBAC today to adopt a pet called the Justice Committee frantic after her visit. A SPCA volunteer told this person that all the animals in building 700 are due to be euthanized shortly.

We have been very concerned about the animals in building 700 because this building is far off the typical visitor's path and volunteers actively discourage visitors from seeing these animals. This is the building that has a group of our dogs in an area behind a chain which visitors are prohibited from approaching. This is also the area that houses a mom dog and her babies.

We can only hope this was yet another volunteer who is ill-informed. But even the idea that a volunteer would think this is true and would further be spreading this information is deplorable.

If it is true, the good faith negotiations of Councilman DeLong are being seriously undermined. Lt. Quigley and Wesley Moore's assurances are surely then nothing but LIES!

If you are a rescue group, please help our animals now at a new lower rate. If you are a caring citizen, please call Lt. Quigley's office (562) 570-7387 and DEMAND that none of these animals be euthanized. If you are given the brush off, please voice your extreme displeasure to Mayor Bob Foster's office at Tel: (562) 570-6801 Fax: (562) 570-6538 e-mail: mayor@longbeach.gov.

The very idea of this is sickening and reprehensible!
