JudgeE.F.Lennongave his decision Saturday morn- ing at ten o'clock on what has come to be known as the "Coney Island Case," and as a result of that deci- sion J. R. Williams, charged with selling liquor in a no-li- cense territory, is again held inthecountyjailonaccount of lack of $500 bonds and must face trial in the Supe- rior Court. In rendering his deci- sion, Judge Lennon did not attempt to decide whether, or not, Coney Island was in dry territory, but held that inasmuch as Williams had admitted that the sold the liquor, and it was not shown that he had a license to do so, he had violated the law. — Aug. 22, 1915 100YEARSAGO... Coney Island is held dry territory This past Saturday a na- tionwide adoption event occurred called Clear the Shelters. More than 400 shelters reduced, or completely waived, their adoption fees to help adoptable animals find homes. Even though the Te- hama County Animal Care Center did not participate in this particular event, it held its own waived or re- duced fee adoption event on Friday to accomplish the same goal for cats and kittens. Initial reports state that over 17,000 animals throughout the United States were adopted dur- ing the national event. On our local level, 15 cats and kittens were adopted. It is a rather impressive num- ber of adoptions occurring in one day for a small pub- lic shelter. For many animals throughout the country, this was truly a life-saving oc- currence. For our crowded local shelter, it opened up space so more animals could have a chance at an improved life. Adoption events like these, both here and at other shelters, are some of the innovative ways those involved try to con- tend with the steady, un- relenting, flow of animals coming in every day. For the most part, these events are extremely successful. That is the good news. For some of the animals adopted, the fairytale end- ing envisioned will not oc- cur. You might be surprised to learn how many adopted animals will subsequently return to the shelter. The American Humane Asso- ciation estimates that 7 to 20 percent of dogs and cats, within six months of adop- tion, reenter the shelter sys- tem. Be aware, these per- centages do not include pets who were lost, died or were given away instead of being returned to the shelter. If those numbers were easily calculated, the percentages would be much higher. There are those that be- lieve waived and reduced fee promotions result in adoptions that are less suc- cessful than the full-fee programs. According to a 2002 study published by the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, retention is similar among adopt- ers whether they acquired their pets at a shelter, or through these special pro- motion events. While some returns may occur because animals were adopted on a whim due to decreased cost, it is important to un- derstand why so many con- tinue to be returned. If our goal is to clear the shelters and end pet homelessness then, in addition to control- ling pet over-population, we must also address what causes relinquishment. Only then will we be able to reduce the numbers of ani- mals coming back in. It is also important to re- member shelters often op- erate on minimal budgets, have limited staff, and in- adequate space. Even with these constraints, they con- stantly try to provide the most optimal care for as many animals as they pos- sibly can. When an adopted animal returns, it uses re- sources that could be used to save others. Pet behavior prob- lems, domestic and finan- cial issues, personal and pet health concerns and military deployment are among the most common reasons people give when relinquishing their pets. We, as a community, can strive to increase resources and provide education to help prevent the pets' re- linquishment from hap- pening again. We can vol- unteer and assist organi- zations that expand and develop programs that pro- vide low cost food and medical care for pets that some cannot afford. We can provide needed assis- tance to seniors so they can keep their companions. We can foster, thus providing temporary pet care so that guardians with illnesses, domestic abuse victims, and deployed military do not need to relinquish their pet. These are just a few possible solutions. We know that pet home- lessness is a many-faceted problem, and is the result of too many unwanted lit- ters and inadequate re- sources to care for both the wanted and unwanted pets in our community. The re- sult is a multitude of pets who do not have perma- nent, loving homes. If we wish to decrease pet relin- quishment then we, as a community, must come up with innovative strategies to provide post-adoption programs that address the various reasons for relin- quishment. PETS is work- ing towards that. At pres- ent, we are here to answer questions, and might be able to help by providing information and locating resources that might as- sist you in resolving issues, thus allowing you to keep your pet in your home. In addition, we offer online postings to help reunite lost/found pets with their guardians. You can either email us at petstehama@ gmail.com or call us at 527- 8702 with questions.
