For 18 months now, Orange County Animal Care (OCAC) refuses to acknowledge simple facts. For
OCAC morning is the same as afternoon, little dogs weigh the same as big dogs, and 37 is equal to
150. Don’t laugh. I only wish these examples were made up.
OCAC is using nonsensical “calculations” to claim that when visitors couldn’t visit the dogs in the
kennel buildings it miraculously got more adoptions done. “200% more adoptions” they said. This is
nonsense. I’ve shown it, in a peer-reviewed research paper, based on the shelter’s own data.
It’s now been over a month and a half since the paper was published. Orange County government is
sticking to its nonsense. It still has on its website a calculation that would get you an F in middle
school math.
Is county ever going to recognize simple facts and show a minimum of respect for its citizens?
