ERIN CRANOR - Clark County School Board Trustee, District G.
* Do you or anyone in your immediate family own a dog, cat, ferret, etc.?
Yes, we own three pets.
* Do you or anyone in your immediate family hunt, with or without a dog?
My husband and much of my immediate family hunt, some with dogs. I went hunting with
my father when I was young.
* Do you support any animal rescue organizations or shelters?
I provided pro-bono grantwriting work for Nevada SPCA a few years ago.
* Do you philosophically support any animal rights or animal protection organizations? If
so,please identify the organizations.
I was impressed by the work SPCA was doing to rescue abandoned animals.
* Do any animal rights or animal protection organizations endorse you as a candidate or
financially support your campaign?
No.
* Should Spaying or Neutering of an animal be controlled by the government through
legislation or should it be left between a veterinarian and their client to decide?
Vet and client.
* Do you believe that animal owners should have their status as owners changed to the
status of guardians? As a guardian you do not own your animals, you are strictly a
caretaker?
No.
* Do you support the states' prerogatives to manage their resident wildlife populations
and establish local hunting regulations, without federal interference?
Yes.
* Do you believe in peoples rights to own (responsibly) any animal of their choice,
regardless of species: exotic or domestic?
Yes, "responsibly" being the key word there. For example, owning Canadian Geese out in
the Idaho countryside where I grew up is different than it would be to own one in my
current neighborhood here in Las Vegas.
* Do you believe it is okay to discriminate against exotic animal owners through unfair
bans?
No.
What is your position on the following animal and/or hunting related issues?
a) Hunting, including the use of dogs
Good family activity.
b) Fishing
Good family activity.
c) Animal medical research
It is very important to treat animals humanely, judge carefully whether human lives may be
saved, and not waste lives or cause unnecessary suffering. I have participated in animal
medical research and I do see its value.
d) Animal ownership and breeding (including pet & livestock breeding, research animals,
circuses and rodeos)
Same as above. We should be thankful for the animals in our lives and livelihoods, and
treat them well.
