Subject: RE: BS: Defenders Of The Cat[s]
Last night's meeting of the
San Francisco Fire Commission was open to the public,
and the local press reported on the members of the public in attendance,
including Michelle Estrada.

Former Station 49 EMT staffer Irene Ybarra,
relocated to Oregon, has been previously interviewed
by local online website SF Gate,
concerning the conditions at the station with the cat on the premises.

Michelle Estrada, described much the same way as Ybarra
as a former Station 49 EMT staffperson,
came forward at the commission meeting,
and also spoke to the press.
She recalled how the feral kitten was taken in at Station 49
and said it was important for the Commission to be told how it happened.

Nothing was reported in the feature article concerning:
the anonymous complainant who started the process;
any current staff members of Station 49.

The emphasis now seems to be less on the pet cat
and more on the Fire Department's Human Relations office
and how they have ordered the staff to be silent.
