  • Approaching Nokill
    Approaching No­Kill: Challenges and Solutions for the Los Angeles Animal Services Department Caroline Nasella April 28, 2006 UEP Comps 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary 3 Introduction 4 Chapter I: The Players and Politics Behind the LAAS Controversy 9 Chapter II: Methods 20 Chapter III: Animal Shelters and the Companion­Pet Surplus 26 Chapter IV: The Animal Welfare and Liberation Philosophy 39 Chapter V: What is possible: The San Francisco SPCA And Animal Care and Control Facilities 47 Chapter VI: A Policy Analysis of the Los Angeles Animal Services Department 69 Chapter VII: Recommendations 80 Conclusion 86 Bibliography 89 2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper is an examination of the Los Angeles Animal Services (LAAS) Department. It looks at the historical, political and philosophical context of the Department. It examines the validity of grievances made by local animal welfare groups against the Department and analyzes the LAAS Department structure and policies. Using a comparative case­study, it identifies the San Francisco animal care facilities as effective models for LAAS. Through an exploration of such themes, this report makes pragmatic policy recommendations for the Department with the goal of lowering shelter euthanasia rates. 3 INTRODUCTION 4 When asked about why activists have targeted LAAS in recent years, cofounder of Animal Defense League – Los Angeles (ADL­LA) Jerry Vlasik argued that the group wanted to focus on one municipal shelter whose reformed policies could translate “throughout the nation”. He believes that if the city goes “no­kill” it will serve as a model for all cities. Vlasik contends that LAAS is not worse than other municipalities.

  • The Big News This Week Is That the Israeli Media Is Reporting That Avaya
    March 2012 Volume 28 Dear Subscribers, The big news this week is that the Israeli media is reporting that Avaya is set to buy Israeli videoconferencing manufacturer RADVISION for between $200-$250MM which has triggered a 19% increase in the price of RADVISION’s stock. Neither side has confirmed the transaction. The move would make perfect sense for Avaya which is currently owned by private equity powerhouses Silver Lake and TPG Capital. Silver Lake also owns AVI-SPL, the largest telepresence and videoconferencing systems integrator in the world. AVI-SPL recently purchased telepresence and managed service provider Iformata Communications giving AVI-SPL its own VNOC and nascent telepresence and videoconferencing exchange capability. Silver Lake also owns Sabre who provides the back end reservation systems for airline flights and travel management companies. Sabre recently announced that it would be adding virtual meeting reservations to its global scheduling and delivery system AND also announced a partnership with shared workspace provider Regus to add access to their 1200+ publicly available telepresence and videoconferencing rooms in 550 cities to Sabre’s Virtual Meeting Network. So… now add a capable videoconferencing endpoint and infrastructure capability to the Silver Lake / Avaya portfolio and you have a substantial collection of end-to-end videoconferencing capabilities. Of course hitting the market with another HD videoconferencing end-point isn’t going to set the world on fire, but given the fact that Avaya chairman and Silver Lake partner Charlie Giancarlo was the genesis for telepresence at Cisco I wouldn’t be surprised if he has a couple of key differentiators up his sleeve.

  • 2019 Biennial Compensation and Benefits Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Information Submitted on Or Before May 7, 2020
    2019 Biennial Compensation and Benefits Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Information Submitted on or before May 7, 2020 I N T R O D U C T I O N A N D I N S I G H T S Organizations in the field of animal welfare employ a unique workforce with distinctive expertise in leadership, organizational governance, animal protection, animal cruelty investigation, behavior rehabilitation, veterinary care, adoption, fundraising, advocacy, human resources, finance, community education and collaboration. Although compensation and benefits surveys exist for many industries, no salary study is compatible with the knowledge and skills needed for mastery of animal welfare. For that reason, The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement (The Association) leadership were compelled to begin collecting data in 2003 (based on FY 2002 data). Since 2003, animal welfare services have evolved: adoption is no longer the main activity at animal care facilities as the numbers of homeless dogs and cats have declined in many regions; community needs have altered; collaborations and mergers have increased; and, animal focused legislation has fluctuated. In response, animal care facilities models continue to adapt to community and animal needs. Consequently The Association volunteer leadership continually reviews the compensation and benefits survey adding or altering job descriptions and accessing needs for additional decision making data. For instance, the effect on salary of those achieving Certified Animal Welfare Administrator (CAWA) status; or, being a male/female in the same role are now studied. In 2019 the first “digital” survey was launched, based on FY 2018 data, allowing participants to instantly compare their data with other regions and budget size over a variety of key performance indicators.

  • 1-Animals on Their Own Terms
    Animals on Their Own Terms: Where Advocacy Can Go From Here by Lee Hall1 It’s an especially important time to be an animal advocate. The word’s out that our little planet will be home to more than nine billion human beings by 2050. The resources we allocate to the animals we domesticate are drawing intense scrutiny. Many people in the industrialized world accept that we must “cut back” on consumption; but serious change is called for. Animal-rights voices must be heard in this urgent discussion, because without them -- that is, without transcending the individual and collective habits connected with dominion over the planet’s life -- humans will be locked into a cycle of pollution and pillage of the land and seas. Taking animal rights seriously can free us from the cycle. Had we respected the lives and futures of pink dolphins, marmosets, jaguars and tamarins, could we have ravaged the forests to make way for an industry that creates hamburgers? Surely we could never have devoted the great plains of North America to single-crop feed growing, interspersed with cattle feedlots, had we taken seriously the interests of river otters, whooping cranes, burrowing owls, long-billed curlews, wolves, black-footed ferrets, coyotes and kit foxes. Respecting free-living animals would keep natural areas intact, force humanity to confront its dependence on animal agribusiness, and address the causes of our climate crisis. What has animal-rights theory proposed so far? We are not the only ones born with interests, and so, advocates have urged, we are not the only ones whose interests should be respected.

" I saw where it was born deep down under feathers and fur, or condemned for awhile to roam four-footed among the brambles. I caught the clinging mute glance of the prisoner, and swore that I would be faithful. " Thee my brother and sister I see and mistake not. Do not be afraid. Dwelling thus for a while, fulfilling thy ap- pointed time—thou too shalt come to thyself at last.
