4/22/09- Animal Care and Control (Visit #5)

Last week Isabella and I visited the AC&C once more and talked to Matt Wildman. We received not much more information then last time, however we were able to correct any facts we thought were untrue. We corrected the fact that there are actually 26,00 animals out of the 44,000 animals that get adopted and the other 18,000 animals get put to sleep. We talked to him about what we were going to do and he seemed pleased and even told us about the stuff the AC&C would like to be donated to the shelter. We got to see the animals again today and there were a lot more then last time. However all the dogs and cats we saw last time were not there. This is a good thing and we are really happy that we will be able to spread the word during our workshop and really show people what is going on. Socializing with the animals is very important because it keeps the animals happy and friendly towards humans. Our contact person Matt Wildman also gave us a packet that had some resources for spaying and neutering your dogs. We took some video footage of the animals to use in a brief film during our workshop. After finishing our filming we packed up and thanked Matt Wildman for all his help and promised to show him some of the PSA’s at a further time.
