LA Councilman Wants Help from Millan

Cesar Millan

Los Angeles city councilman, Tony Cardenas, wants Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan to work with him on a youth program on how to treat animals with respect.

Millan recently was honored before a council session for his work with people and their problem pets. Millan has his own television show on the National Geographic Channel, a best-seller, and was profiled in the New Yorker. His Dog Psychology Center in South Los Angeles has become so popular that he needs to expand, the Los Angeles Times said.

No one really knows how serious the animal cruelty problem is in Los Angeles, because for years records weren’t kept, the official said. Shortly after taking office in 2003, Tony Cardenas — who wants to enlist Millan in his latest project — learned that major cruelty cases were not often pursued as felonies. He introduced legislation that created city’s Animal Cruelty Task Force which chalked up nine felony convictions since fall 2005, with several defendants doing prison time.
