RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SAN BERNARDINO PROHIBITING THE SALE, DONATION, OR GIVING AWAY OF
ANIMALS FOR RESEARCH.
WHEREAS, by pOlicy adopted on November 7, 1988, the Mayor
and Common Council directed that live animals held in the City
Animal Shelter be made available for sale to research facilities
but only if such animals had no evidence of being pets, and
WHEREAS, the segregation of pets and non pets have cost the
City in direct salary and benefits approximately $9,000 per year,
and
WHEREAS, the Federal Animal Welfare Rights Act (7 USC ~2l3l
et seq.) and the Federal Pet Theft Act (7 USC ~2l58 et seq.)
require that where cities allow the sale of animals for research,
impounded animals must be kept for 5 days rather than the 3 days
otherwise allowed by State law (Food and Agricultural Code 5531108
16 and 31752), which will substantially increase the cost of
17 operation of the City Animal Shelter, and
18 WHEREAS, the requests by the research community for the
19 purchase of impounded animals have been minimal,
20 NOW, THEREFORE, THE MAYOR AND COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
21 SAN BERNARDINO DO HEREBY RESOLVE, ORDER AND DIRECT AS FOLLOWS:
