VOTE NO ON METRICS in the final version of 2 VAC 5-115 

This is complete nonsense and has been orchestrated, once again, by the same no-kill extremists and PETA haters that think magic math will change the realities of animal welfare in the Commonwealth. Requiring performance metrics does not save animals, but it will no doubt place more dangerous animals in the hands of unsuspecting adopters while also targeting our poorest residents who need the public service of low-cost or free euthanasia. 

If this goes forward, it will directly impact city-contracted shelters like the Norfolk Animal Care Center where I have been a volunteer for 8 years. PETA provides a valuable service to animals who would otherwise end up at NACC - they are the last-resort option for many suffering animals, including dangerous dogs.
