In sworn testimony before a governmental agency the person who oversaw Boks Edgar Butts stated that the euthanasia rate was 51% in 2005, not 43%. Boks just does math a different way than everyone else. <A HREF="http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/testi/testi20050929.shtml" REL="nofollow">article here</A><BR/><BR/>In various articles on line Jane Hoffman and Regina Massaro of the NY Mayor's Alliance both stated that Boks' "programs" weren't new or sustainable. They stated that all of the programs were already there two years before Boks arrived. Other programs such as overcrowding, letting the animals die of illness and refusing animals were of course not sustainable. <BR/><BR/>Right before Boks was fired from New York quite a few rescue groups were complaining loudly about the overcrowding and ill animals. When he was fired his apologists stated that animals are better ill and crowded than dead. That most certainly is better for Boks' numbers.<BR/><BR/>Here is Ed Boks' bio from Best Friends. He made Maricopa County the first nokill shelter in the nation. He later states that they are the biggest in the "world." Why not "universe" Ed?<BR/><BR/>"Ed Boks revolutionized animal control in Maricopa County, Arizona, and made it the first municipal no-kill shelter in the nation. He recently tok (sic) over as head of New York City Animal Care and Control."<BR/><BR/>Who is the biggest liar of all?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-82914769441622756722007-10-26T13:55:00.000-07:002007-10-26T13:55:00.000-07:00I bet to differ. When Boks was in Maricopa he was ...I bet to differ. When Boks was in Maricopa he was killing 51% to 75% of the animals. He was easily killing as many as Mayeda is killing today yet at Best Friends "No more homeless pets" events he would proudly claim that he hadn't killed an treatable animal in over three years. 100,000 animals weren't treatable? Every animal they didn't adopt out wasn't treatable?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-88866469590369692962007-10-26T13:15:00.000-07:002007-10-26T13:15:00.000-07:00Boks does the same damn numbers trick.

He compares apples to oranges, then gets miffed with Mayeda messing up his lie when she produces her apple to compare to his apple. They're both liars.<BR/><BR/>Another thing, what does "placed" mean? Placed in the grave, place with the original owner, placed with new owner, placed with a rescue group, placed as snake food...? Words, numbers, totally meaningless in the world of liars.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25037502.post-76799684551066414872007-10-26T12:22:00.000-07:002007-10-26T12:22:00.000-07:00Correction, Linda Barth did give me a name and num...Correction, Linda Barth did give me a name and number to the County contact who provided City the first two sets of numbers. I didn't think it would be appropriate to blast on the net.<BR/><BR/>Oh and don't forget, Marcia quoted total County animals "placed" in her press release but compared her numbers to LAAS animals "adopted". It was an unfair comparison.<BR/><BR/>Brad Jensen<BR/>Cypress, CAAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
