Spay/neuter bill AB 1634

[Guest guest]

I spoke with Assembly member Patty Berg, my local

representative (for northern Sonoma County up through Humboldt) about AB 1634,

the bill that would mandate spaying and neutering of pets statewide (with

exceptions for certain “show” animals, police and service animals,

etc.). I was told by a harried staffer that they are getting a lot of calls and

most are from those opposed to the bill. Not good! The opposed are those

who profit from breeding animals, even knowing full well that they are the

cause of unbelievable suffering and death due to pet overpopulation.

 

The bill has passed two committees and will go before the

full Assembly sometime late this month. It’s very important that you call

your assembly member and let her/him know you support this bill. It is the

single most important thing you can do to prevent animal suffering right now.

If you live in Sonoma

County there are three different

potential districts so, unless you live in Guerneville or Santa Rosa, don’t assume it’s

Patty Berg. If you know you’re in Patty Berg’s district, her number

is: 707-576-2526.

 

Tell your representative where you live and that you SUPPORT AB

1634. Also be sure to ask what their position is. When I asked I was told

that Patty did not have one yet but would by the end of the week. I asked them

to call me as soon as she knew and I will call again Friday if I haven’t

heard. Make sure to tell them that you want to know what their position is

ASAP.

 

Thanks everyone!
