The Region : Pound Animal-Supply Measure Passes
San Bernardino voters decided by a narrow margin that the City Animal Shelter should continue to sell dogs to research laboratories, final semiofficial returns on a controversial advisory measure show. Measure HH, which called for continued use of pound animals for “research, testing and educational purposes to legally accredited organizations,” passed in Tuesday’s election by only 113 votes, 9,290 to 9,077. The San Bernardino shelter is one of the last Southern California sources of pound animals for research. A similar measure on the ballot in Mendocino County was turned down 11,254 to 7,659.
