Why are the residents of Huntington Beach protesting every city council meeting? If you speak with residents, it is because the elites on the city council lack the objectivity to do much of anything the people of their city ask them to do.
On Monday, October 15, 2007, the residents of Huntington Beach fear their city council will adopt an ordinance allowing the government to come into people's homes, inspect the virility of their pets, mandate the spaying and neutering or pets and place dangerous tracking chips into their pets. Owners of potential show dogs fear the loss of thousands of dollars in property value. Medical experts are now warning that the chips that the City of Huntington Beach wants to insert into pets are carcinogenic. Civil liberties activists fear humans are next. In fact, some leaders have spoken in favor of placing of these carcinogenic tracking chips into babies and adults on a national basis. Welcome to the 21st Century.
The Patrick Henry Democratic Club of America and Executive Board of the Democratic Party of Orange County, both of which endorsed Huntington Beach Mayor Debbie Cook, have taken strong positions in opposition to the proposed ordinance. The residents of Huntington Beach are outraged by the proposed ordinance. Dog owners are looking at ways to protect their pets from city officials.
Pet owners concerned about their pets have already started taking their dogs and cats to vets outside the City of Huntington Beach. This represents a loss of income to Huntington Beach veterinarians. If the ordinance passes, some veterinarians may have to close their Huntington Beach offices.
Some pet owners plan to give joint ownership to residents of other cities to avoid registering their dogs and cats in Huntington Beach. Some are speaking about simply hiding their pets and having lookouts warn them when officials start inspecting the homes in their neighborhoods.
The expected loss in revenue to the city will be significant. With dog and cat owners, avoiding registering their dogs and cats in Huntington Beach, the city will lose all money from such registrations. Even those with spayed dogs and cats are speaking of registering their pets elsewhere in solidarity with the other dog and cat owners. The cancer risks of the chip are reason enough for some dog and cat owners to avoid registering their pets. One pet owner noted, "I won't let them make my dog sick." Some dogs and cats have died from forced spaying.
Veterinarians came out against a statewide bill that would have mandated spaying and neutering. As a result, the bill died in committee. This ordinance goes further by introducing more health risks to pets and more intrusions into the privacy of homeowners.
Residents are asking why council members would take a position in opposition to the rights and interests of people in their own city. Some are asking if spaying organizations are using offers of money and support to bribe council members. Why would these council members vote against the people who put them into office? Will they vote against the people who put them into office? Will they do what their constituents want by voting down the ordinance? The answers to some or all of these questions will be known on October 15th.
