If anyone reading this is really interested in just one hurdle that CCAC (and other's) face please go to the following sites: http://www.spayflorida.org/ and http://www.spayusa.org/main_directory/02-facts_and_education/literature.asp Please go to the "how quickly dogs and cats multiply pyramid" and realize that here in Florida cats can(and do) have three breeding cycles in one year. It may make just one of you to think twice about feeding that "poor, hungry cat" without having it spayed or neutered. Thank You Every action creates a reaction.

Lady I don't know where you are coming from but the last time I checked Cats were one of God makings like you or me. would you starve you Son if he was not fixed.Just think of what you said.Yes animals multiply fast,but there can be programs to get your pet fixed.Its your Animal Contol job to start those programs and make it cheaper of folks to control the population of the pets, that the smart thing to do. Sounds like your Animal Control is a little behind the times.
Submitted by TruthHurts on Sat, 07/26/2008 - 4:29am.
Farmer No it's not Animal Controls job to start these programs. Aminal Control are not vets. and Animal Control does not dictate to local vets what their pricing is. I think the point here is if your going to keep that cat, and feed that cat you make that your cat. Now take personal responsibility and have that cat fixed. Don't wait for it to have litter after litter until you have 200 cats (all inbreed) running around.

Mr. Farmer It's not Animal Controls or the tax payers job or responsibilty to spay or nueter your cat. That is the responsibilty of the pet owner. Edited section for clarification. The words Animal Control. The meaning of the words Animal Control, refers to the control and enforcement of the animal laws on the books for the county NOT, Population control where tax payers pay to have your pets spayed or nuetered. Now if you have a stray cat that you don't want to take responsibility for fine. Call Animal Control and they will work with you to get that cat out of your hair. But if you feed that cat everyday, day in and day out. You made that cat yours. It would be your responsibilty to get that cat fixed. If you don't get that cat fixed and you feed that cat everyday and at the end of two years you have 200 inbreed sick cats running around, whos fault is that??? I asure you it's not Animal Controls fault. Personal accountability and reponsibilty is the answer to the puzzle.

Once again we have people wanting to blame problems on a government agency instead of taking responsibility. That is one of the biggest problems with this country. Take care of your own house. We love to place blame on anyone but ourselves!! Drive by the Animal Control shelter one night and look at the drop pens out front. Chances are they will be full. Don't like your dog anymore, drop it at the pound, puppy not a cute puppy anymore, drop it at the pound. Dog is sick and you don't want to pay a Vet bill, drop it at the pound!! Then it's not your problem anymore, right!!??

Excuse me for care for God's creatures,Sure there are animals that get out and there will be nonresponsible owners,but that does mean we don't do anything about it. There are alcholic out there and we don't close down every bar, and look how many drunken drives have killed people on the road. All I'm saying is you take care of the problem. Its does take a rocket scientic to figure that out,just a little compassion and a desire.I see there is no compassion here nor the desire wow I touched on a sore subject.

Mr. Farmer Yes taking care of the problem is important. So all pet owner should spay and nueter their pets. No one is saying lets not have compasion for animals I don't know where you are getting that from. How do you equate saying that people need to spay and nueter their pets with no compassion here??

I have seen where other places where programs go out to the public to spay and nueter and deal with the problem just not feed them. Low cost places to go. I haven't seen it here. I'm new here but dealing with animals seems so backward here. Its like nobody wants to anything. Submitted by SoloVoce on Sat, 07/26/2008 - 9:13am.
Mike, I think the identity of retired farmer is irrelevant. Their ideas about responsibility, however are. When one assumes the care, feeding etc. for an animal, any animal, or one purchases an animal either for work or as a pet, certain responsibilities fall on that person & no other person or entity. Animal control has the job AFTER THE FACT of another person assuming care. It is only when a person fails in their responsibilities to their pet & to the community that the job of animal control starts. It's really that simple. Maybe in a perfect world, every animal owner would exercise their reponsibility to their animal and to honoring the RIGHTS OF OTHER PEOPLE. If it's a news flash, we don't live in a perfect world and unfortunately, as a last resort, animal control must come into the picture. Yes, it does come down to responsibility. We're not talking about children & the example given of starving a child if it were not fixed is nothing if not ridiculous. Some semblance of reality, clear thinking & common sense must be used if people are going to attempt to speak intelligently about this serious problem. JATFUR. Rich K

You can help them clean the pens, bathe the animals, take the animals for walks, or throw a ball to a dog for awhile. What you are doing here is not helping anyone, or any animals.

OGV, My wife & I saw that article, buried as it was, & wondered how long it would take before apearing on the blogs. I figured...not long & viola, here it is. More important, I'm waiting to see if there are any results to the article. On compassion, I really doubt if any person on or off the blogs lacks a certain amount of compassion for animals that are lacking care. But compassion, by necessity, can only go so far. The logical course of action would be to attack the source of neglected animals, but unfortunately, that is also pie in the sky thinking in the real world. Once again, the last resort of using animal control comes into the fray. I can't comment about the goings on, real or alleged, at animal control for I have no first hand knowlege or proof to make an accusation. But their existence, while apparently drawing the ire of some, is necessary. If anyone can introduce a realistic, working alternative, I've yet to hear it here or anywhere else. JATFUR. Rich K

I agree 98%. My issue with the identity of RF was that there was no mention of responsibility in his post. Only an ongoing theme that it is CCACs and the tax payer's job to do whatever. There was no mention of letting animals starve. The statement was to think about feeding the animal with taking the responsibility of get is fixed. RF immediately went into the typical rant mode. I'm no fan of the management at CCAC as can be evidenced by some of my posts but to continually bash CCAC as a whole and imply that the tax payer should take care of this serves no purpose. Don/Spot/RF needs to get off the personal vendetta. Don lost the suite that he filed and unless there is something else to present he needs to let it go. He will not change the outcome of that decision here. Now I could be wrong about RFs identity but I'd be real surprised if I am.

OGV You are part right. For one person it is all out of spite. For myself it is resentment of a spiteful person that would defame people that I care about and call my friends. I would ask you and any other. If someone came on the blogs to spitefully defame folks that you cared about would you not defend them. Has this back and fourth banter accomplished anything? I doubt it. But I personally will not sit back with my mouth shut and just watch it happen. I can get down and dirty with the best of them. But I will say that CCAC has come a long way in the past 19 years and there are many more good things to come.

I'm so glad I read all of the post before I responded to RF. I see that RF feels the need to mimic "The Great Carnac". I do miss Johnny, but RF AKA Spot/Don, You are no "Carnac" There is a low cost spay/neuter clinic in Clay County. Funny how you never seem to mention it. Not only will they spay/neuter a pet for a fraction of the cost that other vet clinics charge, they will do it for free if a pet owner qualifies (low fixed income/disabled/elderly). Now let me play "Carnac". I have a card held up to my forehead and yes there it is... RF you have no desire to help make a bad situation better, you just want to bash an organization for not letting you have your way. MY POINT is this is a nationwide problem with a very simply solution. SPAY or NEUTER. In nature wildlife can only survive within its limits. We as humans created domestic animals for our betterment. Domestic animals have served humans for centuries and they will continue to do so...But animals are disposable. Isn't that why we as humans train dogs to sniff out bombs? Before that dog ever sniffs for his first bomb he is trained by humans, his sperm is collected and frozen so if he steps on the bomb and is blown to pieces his genes are safe and he can be reproduced. Now I suppose the people that train the dogs have no compassion...after all they all know what the outcome will be. If you are going to take the responsibilty of feeding that "poor, hungry stray animal" than take on the responsibility of not allowing it to reproduce. Don't feed it thinking you are doing the "right thing". If you cannot afford to spay or neuter then you can't afford to feed it. Maybe the manufactures of the cat/dog food should pay to have the animals altered after all they are the only ones profiting from this. Like I said before, it is like you are standing behind a huge glass wall with your hands cupped beside your head peeking in. I am not here to add fuel to the fire, I am here to educate people how something as simple as putting a feed dish and water bowl outside to can turn into a nightmare. This is reality...Animals cannot resist the urge to reproduce. They do not have morals, they will breed their own mother,brother,father sister or cousin. They do not practice "safe sex methods", they do not have sex just cause it feels good. Domestic Animals exist because we, humans, created them and it is our responsibilty to control them...

I don't think Connie wants a volunteer program. She just had her coordinator go through the paces to make it look like she did. Television, newspaper, just a waste of the medias time, not to mention the coordinator. Just a little background, this coordinator had a bachelors degree, 17 years experience in animal control and was a instructor for the Florida Animal Control Association. Doesn't he sound like a real threat to replace the misfits in place at the animal center. And with further checking, I also found out that he is certified level 3 in Code Enforcement and was a supervisor. This makes him qualified to take Bill Bodenweber's job. Hmmmmmm.

TH; Here's where I have a problem with CCAC management and some of the asinine, nasty statements you make in your wild endeavor to act as foolish as the people who 'bash' CCAC. Your answer to a simple question, one that you would have known the answer to if you had stopped to think about it or did a little research. Instead you have to try to bash the person asking and in the process make yourself sound petty and foolish. You must go in and sign up at the counter Don I dont know where he is Don. But when you go to sign up to volunteer you can ask the folks there. Only 4 days ago there was a blog that the coordinator was fired. Additionally if you were to look under the NEWS button or read the MCS paper edition for today you would see an article about CCAC wanting volunteers. Part of it reads: To fill one of those needs or to obtain more information, call Dennis Underwood, coordinator for volunteers, rescues and adoptions, at Clay County Animal Control, at 269-6342. Did someone forget that the paper was going to print this? Is the volunteer program dead because he is gone? He did ask and got some BS answer. Couldn't someone have given a better answer than he doesn't work here anymore? This kind of incompetence and lack of customer service does not shine a positive light on CCAC. If management didn't put up with this kind of stuff it wouldn't continue to happen. Mike Heemer

Customer service means I don't have to ask 20 questions to find out what I want to know or to volunteer my time. A better answer, one that would have been given by anyone that has been trained by good management would have been: He no longer works here, but if you are calling about the volunteer program ...... Then give some information. Such as we still need volunteers. Can you come by to talk to us about ...... We've had to suspend the program for a while but let me take your name and number so that we can contact you as soon as we get it back on line .... If you really want volunteers then you make it as easy as possible on them. They are volnteering. They should be given special treatment to keep them interested. If it is that hard to volunteer then it is too hard. It has to be easy and they have to be treated nicely and they have to know you are really interested in receiving their help. This is the reason I have a problem with management at CCAC. This type of performance and the mode of operation you espouse is unacceptable.

There is no effort to find ways after 19 years and kilroy your just another CCAC employee that is defending there jobs like all of them. It easier to kill then to do anything else. After all of the problems 52 farm animals stolen. false accusation to a reporter, so many accounts of Bad paper work, and no telling how many law suits and that only the start, and gets a AAA+ JOB PERFORMANCE RATING the Director still has her job.Whats wrong with this picture. That is BAD MANAGEMENT Then you get somebody that wants to do there job and doing a good job (Dennis Underwood) and you fire him with another false accusation.Just because you want someone else in that position,well CCAC is A county department, and run by Clay Co Citizens not by the personal wants and desires of the Director.

Nice post.
I have been to CCAC many times. I have seen first hand folks that would bring in litter after litter of unwanted puppies and kittens.
On one occasion that I was there. It was about a 45 minute period. I witnessed 2 litters of kittens (5 in one, 6 in the other), and one litter of puppies (6 in the litter).
In just 45 minutes 17 unwanted babies were brought in. What a shame.
Personally I think they should make it the law to have these pets fixed.
From what I have been told from the folks at CCAC some folks don't even bring the litters to the shelter, some will just dump them on the side of the roads.
