FACA POLICIES

The FLORIDA ANIMAL CONTROL ASSOCIATION is a strong supporter of local option and presents these policies in that perspective. We urge all Animal Control and Protection Agencies to give them serious thought. FACA does not present them as requirements for membership, but rather as worthwhile goals for all to strive toward.

The policies in this manual reflect the position of FACA on the issues contained herein as of the date of this document. Policies will change as information becomes available which will improve the quality of life for the citizens and animals of Florida.
