Subject: STOP ANIMAL CRUELTY - Animal Control Contract Termination
Hello all,
To terminate the Animal Control Contract with HRR is one thing, but to confiscate all the shelters from HRR because
they used County funding to pay the rent DISPLACES HUNDREDS OF VULNERABLE ANIMALS. To euthanize
animals who have no place to go is inhumane, unethical, immoral and unacceptable. A reasonable time must be given
to allow placement of the animals, at least 30 days. Mary Rose Krigjsman, President of HRR and Rainbow Friends
Animal Sanctuary,took this contract in good faith and contributed over $90,000 to start HRR animal control
services. They were receiving 54% funding that the previous vendor received. That is not fair. And Mary Rose
Krijgsman also contributed another $17,000 to the ongoing operations. USE THAT CREDIT FOR THE SHELTER
RENT AND KENNELS. HRR was notified of the contract award on July 27, 2020, with the start of services on Aug
1, 2020--four days notice. Now HPD is giving them less than three days to move hundreds of animals or they will be
disposed of. This is unreasonable and unacceptable.
Thank you,
Martha Duerr
