SPAY NEUTER DAY USA RESOLUTION <br /> <br />WHEREAS, cats and dogs provide companionship to and share the homes of thousands of <br />individuals in Orange County; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, spayed and neutered animals are less likely to have certain health problems or exhibit <br />certain undesirable behaviors that can create community-wide problems and use community <br />resources; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the problem of pet overpopulation costs the taxpayers of Orange County hundreds of <br />thousands of dollars annually through animal control and sheltering programs aimed at coping with <br />unwanted and homeless cats and dogs; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, humane societies and shelters throughout the country have to euthanize approximately <br />four million cats and dogs each year, although many of them are healthy and adoptable, due to the <br />lack of critical resources such as money, space, and good adoptive homes; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Animal Services Advisory Board and the Animal Services Department have made <br />correcting pet overpopulation a priority, and prepared Managing Pet Overpopulation: A Strategic <br />Plan for Orange County; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the County has established a Community Spay/Neuter Fund to address the issue of pet <br />overpopulation in the County; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, spaying and neutering cats and dogs, among other animal companions, has been shown <br />to drastically reduce overpopulation; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, Animal Services has partnered with AnimalKind and the Department of Social Services <br />to offer “low cost” and “no cost” spay and neuter through The $20 Fix in Orange County; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, veterinarians, animal care and control organizations, national and local animal welfare <br />organizations, and private citizens work together each year to ensure the spaying or neutering of <br />thousands of companion animals through “Spay Neuter Day USA”; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, veterinarians, animal care and control organizations, national and local animal welfare <br />organizations, and private citizens have joined together again this year to advocate and support the <br />spaying and neutering of companion animals on “Spay Day USA 2014.” <br /> <br />Now, therefore be it RESOLVED by Orange County that February 25, 2014, is declared “Spay Neuter <br />Day USA.” The Board of County Commissioners calls upon the people of the County to observe the <br />day by having their own cats or dogs spayed or neutered or by sponsoring the spaying or neutering of <br />another person’s cat or dog. <br /> <br />THIS THE 18th OF FEBRUARY, 2014. <br /> <br /> ___ <br /> Barry Jacobs CHAIR <br /> ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> <br />Formatted: Left: 0.5", Right: 0.5", Top: <br />0.6", Section start: New page <br />Formatted: Font: 12 pt, Bold <br />Formatted: Font: 12 pt <br />Formatted: Centered
