Number of rabid animals in California skyrockets to the most cases in nearly 30 years

Your browser does not support the video tag. California has seen the number of rabid animals skyrocket, with the most cases in nearly 30 years, according to state officials. At least 368 rabid animals were found in the Golden State so far this year, breaking a 28-year record, the California Veterinary Medical Association announced Saturday. Most of the rabid animals were bats or skunks from Southern California, according to the veterinary association. San Diego County health officials sounded the alarm in July after a rabid bat landed on the table where a family was eating lunch at the rustic Yellow Deli chain in Vista. Another diner quickly grabbed the bat with a towel and brought it to the Humane Society in Oceanside. Last month, local health officials reported the first two raccoons to test positive for rabies in Los Angeles County in more than 50 years.

Council Explores Housing Changes to Keep Pets Out of Shelters

LOS ANGELES - Pet restrictions in rental housing are drawing new scrutiny at City Hall as Los Angeles looks for ways to keep animals out of its overcrowded shelters. The City Council voted unanimously Friday to explore broader housing protections for pet owners, including a potential ordinance reducing or eliminating breed, weight and size restrictions in housing that receives no public funding.Councilwoman Eunisses Hernandez, who introduced the housing motion, said restrictions are forcing some residents to surrender their animals to remain housed."No one should be forced to surrender a member of their family just to stay housed," Hernandez said during Friday's meeting. "But if you go into our shelters, you'll find time and time again how many animals and pets have actually been given up because of this issue -- because they've been forced to surrender their pet or their family member because of their housing situation."The council approved three separate motions addressing the city's six animal shelters. Alongside the housing proposal, members advanced Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez's efforts to strengthen animal control staffing and increase investment in spay-and-neuter services.The measures seek to reduce the number of animals entering shelters while improving the city's ability to respond to animal-related emergencies.
