Fw: [ncalt] If you care about animals - just make a call

August 28, 2004

lauren just informed me that Schwarzenegger has received more calls to veto the foie gras bill than to sign it. So, contacting his office is not a mere formality -- we need lots of people to do it. If you call, there will be a list of bills to register your comments about -- 6 of them as of a few minutes ago. SB 1520 is not one of them. If you listen to the list twice, they will then put you through to an operator. It took me about 5 minutes to get through to someone.

SB 1520

If you've been waiting for an update on California's foie gras legislation, you'll be happy to hear that it has passed the Assembly floor by a wide margin! This is history in the making--though several countries around the world have banned force-feeding fowl, this is the first time this type of legislation has made it this far in the U. S. Again, the bill makes the practice of force-feeding ducks and geese illegal by 2012, and it also bans the sale of the cruel product!! Let's make sure it goes all the way!

Contact Gov. Schwarzenegger and tell him it's time to add California to the growing list of governments that ban force-feeding.
