"A scathing city audit of one year ago has failed to deliver measurable results. The city still fails to provide low-cost public spay and neuter, nor is outreach to rescue groups or trap-neuter-return a priority. The San Jose animal welfare community continues to be ignored. This "Ivory Tower" attitude of entitlement, lack of ownership and accountability by city leaders funded by taxpayer money is clearly troubling - especially given that the budget for SJACS has increased to $17.5 million while performance and services have declined."
"During our time at the curb, at least half a dozen protesters in frog costumes passed behind us. That evening, we joined a march through downtown Palo Alto led by a penguin, under the benevolent eye of an inflated frog who bounced at the edge of each crosswalk as we passed. Later, I realized: On the first No Kings Day in June, the left reclaimed the American flag as a symbol of our commitment to democracy."
San Jose continues to fail to improve animal shelter services to the community. A scathing city audit from one year ago failed to deliver measurable results. The city still fails to provide low-cost public spay and neuter, and outreach to rescue groups and trap-neuter-return is not a priority. Ethics complaints about SJACC mismanagement prompted a deputy city manager to call increased communication and complaints a distraction to staff. SJACS budget increased to $17.5 million while performance and services have declined. On No Kings Day, protesters reclaimed the frog as a symbol of life, joy and resistance to Pepe's misuse.
