Marcia Mayeda has continued to violate the public trust by allowing her department to break Department policy and procedure, Board of Supervisor policy and procedure, and State and Federal law. The only solution is to demand that Marcia Mayeda be fired by the Board of Supervisors. It’s only when a competent and caring Department Director replaces her will the abuse and neglect that the employees of the Department of Animal Care and Control inflict on the animals in their “care” cease. Send emails to and phone the below people and demand that they fire Marcia Mayeda as well as start an internal investigation. It’s time we put the word care back in the Department of Animal Care and Control.

How is this going to help the animals? From what I've read and observed, Marcia has the animal care and welfare experience to make a positive difference for the animals. The alternative would be another bureaucrat who does not care about the animals. I've lived all over the US and abroad, and logged 1000s of volunteer hours at county and city shelters wherever I've lived. My perspective is if you are not volunteering to help the animals and promoting responsible pet ownership, then you are just part of the problem. County and city animal control agencies have responsibilities and red-tape to overcome that you cannot fathom. Unless you have direct experience managing a shelter or animal control department of this scale, then your comments are just part of the problem and not part of a solution. How about supporting your local animal control departments and volunteer to make a positive difference instead of making things more difficult for these agencies. (Whittier, CA)
Let's take this function out of the hands of the "bureaucrats" and place it entirely in the hands of private organizations and volunteers. I used to volunteer at the County facilities, but was completely frustrated with the ineptitude and complete unwillingness to help out when we needed the help with simple things. These jobs are given to people who can't find jobs anywhere else because they're not qualified or wanted in private industry.
