All those are spelled in the document. I think it was a credibility issue and not just for the sfpu c it is who they are sharing information with. Im disaponted with mr. Sharpentears comments. For the two plus years i have met with City Council Members to explain the issue and drafted the calloges memo that put the issue of transferring water to east pal o alto and feel stabbed in the back by his comments but i dont blame him because he gets information from sfpu c staff. It is very interesting ...

Dying and it has been left where inadequate water flows for some years now and as a couple of people have mentioned in 2010 the state water board issued a report called development of flow criteria for the sacramento san joaquin eco system that suggested 50 percent of unempaired flow is what is needed if the delta repairs itself and the salmon fisheries will recover. It is horrifying for me to see salmon fisheries dying in california because water is issued carelessly. The delta is essential to ...

Additionally as you saw there is infliction from weapons on the tigers and the camels and the zebras. As far as Public Safety i have witnessed san jose zebras breaking free and camels breaking loose and i want to say as far as education goes these circus tricks dont teach us anything about who the animals truly are. They perpetuate a gross and false image about who the animals are and doesnt teach us about them and i applaud you for introducing this legislation. Thank you very much. My name is t...

Important to the history to the city and all of the great rock and roll out of the city and the things that wouldnt exist if it wasnt for the lakes and with history i would like to thank the Bay Area Ridge Council for the vision to see that the stewardship of people to manage land responsibly is tied to their emotional ownership of that land in the history of it. Thank you. Thank you very much. Before the next speaker a few more cards. [calling speaker names] thanks supervisors. I want to thank ...

Issues concerning Animal Welfare i guess. I was moved to come here to speak today because i am in full support of what is being proposed. I am just surprised to me this is my personal opinion that public entertainment and amusement reads to me zoos which i was trying to many years ago become just a rescue zoo but the powers that be didnt happen, but in my mind on a lesser degree not cruelty but ongoing policy of entertainment and amusement is what zoos are at least our zoo is about and again tha...

Good afternoon. My name is daffy lang and a lifelong San Francisco resident and representing the animal Legal Defense fund. I want to thank supervisor tang, wiener and yee for sponsoring the legislation. When it comes to handles these animals for entertainment abuse is the rule, not the exception. Handlers embed the sharp hook into the soft tissue behind elephant ears and other sensitive spots and under the chins and tigers are whipped and beaten and man are in tiny cages and this ordinance is i...

Should be commended for that and we hope the pressures to go away from that could be released. We will now get more involved in this. We havent been involved up to this point. Its our intention to do so in the future because theres a lot here to be saved. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker please.

Different places around california are only required to have extremely small spaces for their animals to live, up to 3,000 square feet for a tiger for the entire life. 300 square feet for the tiger to life and many things the people dont see when the tiger comes for a performance. The opposition fights to keep the standards so low and the public that supports that thing is much more aware of what happens. The animal trade is another disgusting part of the wild animal business, not just the ones ...
