Paul Koretz's June Newsletter: Puppy Mills, Car-meggedon and More
Ban on puppy mills
Acting swiftly, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously approved a motion by Councilmember Koretz that may put an end to the deplorable puppy and kitten mills that are responsible for inhumane conditions, unhealthy animals and animal overpopulation.
In accordance with the motion, the City Council has called on the Los Angeles Department of Animal Services (LAAS) to draft a law that will ban, in the City of Los Angeles, the commercial breeding of dogs, cats, rabbits and chickens, as well as the sale of factory-bred animals in pet stores.
LAAS General Manager Brenda Barnette noted that, “We’re not only protecting animals but we’re protecting the people in the community – the people who don’t know that when they go into a pet store they are paying hundreds if not thousands of dollars for an animal that is likely to be sick or have genetic defects.”
Councilmember Koretz said the motion’s passage “will help us reduce our pet over-population problem and will save us a significant amount of money.” He also pointed out that animals that come from the mills often end up causing anguish for new owners: “These animals are inbred and raised in terrible conditions, and that results in medical and behavioral problems, often leading to those animals winding up in our animal shelters.” Unfortunately, 25% of dogs and half of the cats that enter L.A. City shelters are euthanized; around 55,000 animals entered the LAAS system last year.
The Koretz motion promotes:
-- The establishment of a ban on the sale of commercial animal mill-bred dogs, cats, chickens and rabbits within the city limits.
-- The creation of a program whereby LAAS can work with licensed pet stores to make shelter animals available for adoption at those stores on a regular or periodic basis.
-- The creation of a program whereby LAAS, as a part of its normal pet store licensing procedures, publicly and visibly identifies stores that excel in meeting rigorous humane requirements and conditions in the kenneling and sale of animals consistent with all City, state and federal laws, or which do not sell live animals.
-- The prohibition of the establishment and/or operation of puppy, kitten, chicken and rabbit mills within the City of Los Angeles.
Councilmember Koretz praised Judie Mancuso, President, Social Compassion in Legislation; Ed Buck, Social Compassion in Legislation (both pictured above); the Humane Society; Best Friends; LAAS GM Brenda Barnette; Jim Bickhart from the Mayor's office and all the folks and organizations who have taken the lead on this vital concern over the years.

I used parallel surfacing instead of flowline because of the size of the code files. As it is, I had to break up the tool path into three programs. Ultimately, the parts will run on our ‘new’ machine, and I’ve already informed them that they need lots of memory in the controller. We CMM’d the RH part (the files was uploaded on thread http://www.emasterca…0680.html)along the positive ‘outside’ surface only. We found a surface deviation of .030 at the -y end of the part up to .090 at the most acute curvature (+y). We are now CMM’ing the center section, where the curvature (in x,y) is not drastic, to see if we see the same deviation. I had a similar undercut issue that I needed to use a lollipop cutter. This is the condensed solution. Rotate the geometry so you can appraoch it from the undercut side. Establish check surfaces and create a simple flowline toolpath. Backplot and save toolpath as geometry (on another level). Now rotate all the geometry back to its original place and you can now 3d contour the center line path. You must set the tool to the center. I hope this helps.
