Animal Care and Control
http://www.ci.sf.ca.us/acc/
We, as people, have a responsibility to animals. Animal care and control laws were first enacted in the mid-1800's to
ensure that animals were treated humanely. As life became more complicated in the twentieth century, new laws were
needed to enable animals and humans to continue to live compatibly. Many of these ordinances, such as the lead and
anti-litter laws, protect not only the animals, but humans and their property as well.
