Ask Governor Schwarzenegger to protect animals

[Guest guest]

The California state legislature has passed

three important bills with the potential to improve life for

tens of thousands of animals in our state. Please help the animals by asking Governor

Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign these bills into law!

 

 

 

 

 

 

AB

241 makes it harder

to operate a puppy mill in California by

limiting the number of intact cats or dogs a breeder can

maintain to 50. Puppies born in puppy

mills are often seriously sick, poorly socialized, and have

hereditary and congenital=2

0defects from being bred carelessly.

Learn more about puppy mills on our Web

site.

 

 

 

 

AB

1122 will prohibit

the sale of animals along roadsides and in other public

places. These animals often are kept in

overcrowded pens or cages that are unsanitary, without food

and/or water, in extreme heat and direct sunlight. AB 1122 is sponsored by the California Animal Association, of which United

Animal Nations is a founding member.

 

 

SB 135 would ban the practice of docking the

tails of dairy cows. This cruel, unnecessary procedure

is opposed by the American Veterinary Medical Association and is

typically performed without anesthetic.

 

How

you can help

Please

take a moment to contact Governor Schwarzenegger and ask him to

sign AB 241, AB 1122 and SB 135.

 

Governor

Schwarzenegger’s Office: (916)

445-2841

When you call, you will likely

speak to a staff member who will offer to pass your message

along to the governor. Here are a few suggestions for when you

call:

 

 

Give your name and address so

they know you are a California resident.

Say you are calling to ask the

governor to sign California AB 241, AB 1122 and SB 135,

three bills that would strengthen the state’s laws related

to the humane treatment of animals.

Be polite and thank the person

you speak with for taking the time to register your

views.

Thank you for being an advocate for the

animals!

Warmly,

 

Nicole

Forsyth

President and CEO

United Animal

Nations
