RE: Oppose - Elimination of Vicious and Dangerous Animals Unit

DRAFT 

Dear Mayor Newsom:

I greatly appreciate our long standing friendship and our work together.  Accordingly, I wish to bring to your attention a risk to the public at large and the blind community specificly.  

The National Federation of the Blind, San Francisco Chapter (Board) is writing in opposition to the proposed elimination of the Vicious and Dangerous Animals Unit (Unit) within the San Francisco Police Department.  San Francisco has served as a model for other jurisdictions by having such a unit in its organization.  Many times with the Board?s constituency, the necessity for law enforcement involvement stems from violations of the penal code regarding dog attacks on the blind, guide dog teams and the population at large.  A dog attack is a vital issue in our community.  The emotional and physical results of an attack are devastating, and can result in serious injuries to handlers and/or the death of a guide dog or force the $60,000 guide dog into early retirement.  Referring these crimes to animal care & control sends the wrong message and improperly defers criminal enforcement to an inappropriate agency.  

We therefore respectfully call upon you to reverse the misguided and dangerous policy of the SFPD?s abolishment of the Unit and reinstate its officers accordingly.  

My schedule is at your disposal to meet and discuss the rectification of this important issue.  

Respectfully yours,




ERIC HOLM
President 
NFBSF

Do they have a date when they are going to do this?  I think this 
would be bad for the public in genreral and should definitely be stopped

We have been asked to circulate the following:

David Andrews

The Jules Stein Eye Institute at University of California, Los 
Angeles is seeking clinical research volunteers. Dr. Michael B. Gorin 
is conducting a nationwide study of genetic and other risk factors 
that contribute to the development of age-related macular 
degeneration (also known as Age-Related Maculopathy). Individuals or 
members of their family may be eligible to participate in this 
observational study (this is not a treatment trial) which does not 
require that individuals travel to UCLA, but allows individuals to 
participate through a confidential and secure website. Individuals 
will be required to give 1 saliva sample or have their blood drawn 
(20 ml). Photographs of the retina will be covered by the study.

The study is looking for:
    * Individuals from 49 to 65 years old who have/had a least one 
parent with macular degeneration. Spouses or partners will be included.
    * The parent(s) who have Age-Related Macular degeneration or have 
a first-degree relative with the disease (siblings).

If an individual wishes to learn more about this study, they can go 
to the following website and read about the study with complete 
anonymity (and even send questions to the research coordinators).

I'd like to understand more about what's happening here.  I've worked as a 
veterinarian with several humane groups in Marin, San Francisco, and the 
penninsual who address laws regarding animal attacks.   I reside in Sonoma 
County and was unaware that SF had a separate unit, other than animal 
control, who dealt with dog attacks.  Could you tell me more about what's 
going on?  I'd be very interested to know the functions of the separate 
unit.

Thanks very much,
