For the Record - Aug. 6, 2007

Pit bulls: An article in Sunday’s California section about a proposed training program for pit bulls incorrectly said that Los Angeles would contract with the nonprofit Villalobos Rescue Center. Although the city will work with Villalobos, there will be no formal contract. The article also said an internal memo from Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa expressed concern over the number of animals killed in Los Angeles shelters. That 2006 memo, according to Los Angeles Animal Services General Manager Ed Boks, asked department heads to “think outside the box” in formulating new programs.
