Becerra, Alexis <br /> From: Janella Simpson < <br /> Sent: Monday, February 23, 2026 4:43 PM <br /> To: Vicente.Sarmiento@ocgov.com <br /> Cc: eComment <br /> Subject: Orange County Animal Shelter <br /> Attention: This email originated from outside of City of Santa Ana.Use caution when opening attachments or links. <br /> I volunteer at the Orange County Animal Shelter(OCAC), and I am an advocate for the animals. What is the problem in <br /> adhering to the Strategic Plan? It shouldn't even be up for discussion. Just do it! It was commissioned to advise as to <br /> best practices but now willingly ignored with lots of excuses. Why is Orange County still supporting a KILL shelter? We <br /> should be one of the most advanced counties in California, but the fact is that we are NOT. People in Santa Ana should <br /> be able to be HUMAINE. But the policies of OCAC seem to be that you are more interested in running a business and <br /> making the OCAC look good, rather than a humaine sanctuary for animals and giving the people of the community the <br /> ability to be kind, caring and compassionate to the animals of the community. To reject animals (and I am particularly <br /> interested in the felines) from intake because they are not sick or injured....they are homeless, or over 2 pounds......is still <br /> CRUEL! Don't you see that? So how come the OCAC is allowed to be cruel to animals and the people who are just <br /> trying to give them a place to be cared for? Let them in and give them a chance! Please do the right thing. If we all do <br /> the right thing, it can work. <br /> Janella Simpson <br /> Resident of Sant Ana <br /> ( <br /> 1 <br />
