Supervisor tang im here on behalf of of my aids laughter thats okay. Good evening, commissioners and thank you. Im proud to say that and thank you for approving district 4 business for its first one to receive fund from the legacy business Prevention Fund thank you for that and today one of the two pieces of legislation that i have pending before the board the first one has to do with with the sale of Public Opinion i didnt see and kittens you might wonder why were bringing for the this kind of legislation that essentially will require a couple of things one that it will prohibit pet stores in San Francisco is from selling puppies and kittens that are from breeders and the reason were trying to encourage adoption more than 200 and 50 thousand dogs and cats are euthanized in animal shelters annually thats an Alarming Number a lot of time when people are buying where puppy or cats or kittens they may not be aware of t of the inhuman in San Francisco we dont have any pet stores that sell kittens or puppies from breeders, however, we did before and come in the future i believe that seeing how overcrowded our shelters are even institutions like the spaca i want to thank spaca they brought this for the to us if that is it is important we try to instill in people how we should try adaptation first and my family adopted a dog from spaca so we understand the juice of adopting the other requirement for Small Business they have to display something in their cage or wherever the animal is and indicate which shelter settler from San Francisco or another rescue orientation organization and thats the jest of it and lastly it to prohibit the sale of those puppies and kittens under 8 weeks old because apparently mel unsound to separate a puppy or kitten thats in a nut shell what were trying to do and thanks for the animal control and spaca. So ill be happy to answer any questions you may have. On this one. Commissioner dooley i just i have a question but i think that is really a good idea to be doing this even though we dont have that the puppy and kitty mills this will you know put in an official damp on it i assume that employs to adult dogs and cats. The district prohibition but that employs to all dogs and cats sold it originated from breeders were trying to accepted a strong message not only from the state of california but nation wide we see not only inhumane for the animals the treatment through the breertdz but also the impact to taxpayers when we have to continually have staff taking care of all sorts of animals taken to shelters their band this has a huge cost to all cit
