Madison's Installment #13
According to Boks we are now 100% no-kill.
I was just forwarded an e-mail that someone received from Ed Boks. Did you know that according to Boks' new auto signature we are now 100% no-kill.
Below please find a copy of Ed Boks' new auto signature. Notice that the only two options Boks says can happen to an LAAS animal is to be reunited with the owner or to get adopted. What about the many thousands of animals who got killed and continue to be killed in LAAS, especially now that Boks increased euthanasia by 37.38% (This number can be found in my installment titled "Ed Boks instructive responses to installment #1" or on Ed Boks' blog)

Oops, I forgot, we can ignore those deaths because those deaths are part of Boks' charade. The charade being that roughly 1 out of every 3 animals impounded into LAAS are so hopelessly sick and/or vicious that they must be killed and therefore do not get counted as a kill according to Boks' No-Kill equation(This information can be found in my installment 1, 2 and 3 and confirmed on Boks' blog).

Ed Boks' new auto signature:

Last I heard this illustrates lying by omission. Once again, Ed Boks is ignoring the deaths of 1 out of every 3 animals in LAAS. To add insult to injury, Boks is using his misrepresentation in his official capacity, to recruit donors under a false premise for his city department.
How long will we continue to look the other way while Ed Boks continues to lie.

Madison's Installment #13 - UPDATE
According to Boks we are now 100% no-kill.
Yesterday Madison publicized Ed Boks' new and highly misleading auto signature. In it Boks suggested that all LAAS animals are either reclaimed by owners or adopted, omitting the fact that 1/ 3 of LAAS animals are killed. After Madison made Ed Boks' serious omission public, Boks reacted by again changing his auto signature.
Here is what it says now:

LA Animal Services is determined to eliminate euthanasia as a tool for
controlling pet overpopulation. We are not there yet. If you would

Madison's IMPORTANT REMINDER
Please Attend City Personnel Meeting investigating Boks/Barth.
On Tuesday October 7th at 6:30pm, the LA City Council Personnel Committee has scheduled a special meeting to hear complaints and allegations of mismanagement by Ed Boks, General Manager of LA Animal Services and Linda Barth, Assistant General Manager of LA Animal Services.
This is an extraordinary action by the Personnel Committee and we will need as much support as possible if we are to make an impact.
Please come and show your support for the animals residing in the city of Los Angeles by attending this very important meeting.
Please note that your allegations and complaints will hold much more weight if they are accompanied by proof.
Please take this opportunity to be the voice for the voiceless in our city.
Councilmember Dennis Zine has been kind enough to schedule this meeting in the evening and in the Van Nuys Civic Center, so it would be more easily accessible.
