Two Los Angeles Councilmembers, who may not always agree on policies, set their differences aside and teamed up for their shared love of animals.Los Angeles Councilmembers Eunisses Hernandez and Traci Park often find themselves on the opposite ends of policy proposals in the city, especially when it comes to homelessness.
“ was bringing in cats for adoption at City Hall, and I was bringing in dogs for adoption at City Hall,” recalled Hernandez. “I'm just grateful that there's another person on the council that cares as much for animals as I do.” Park and Hernandez may be influential decision makers who are faced with heavy and challenging tasks of solving homelessness, but they are no different than other pet parents when asked about their fur babies.
"I initiated an 'Adopt a Pet' feature in my weekly newsletter .. with personalized write-ups," said Park whose coastal district has been seeing sick marine mammals and birds in the past year."Whether it's collaborating with my colleagues in council or groups like the Marine Mammal Care Center, I intend to use my team in office to ensure we get support for the comprehensive protection and well-being of all our animal neighbors.
Under the ordinance, the moratorium would be lifted once shelters are at or below 75% capacity for three consecutive months, and could be automatically reinstated if shelter capacity rises above 75%. Councilmember Bob Blumenfield, who seconded the motion, noted during the meeting that the moratorium would also save taxpayers’ money as it has become increasingly costly for housing and even euthanizing unadopted dogs.
