We have just found out that California bill SB1634 has a serious chance of becoming law unless we unite and write our own state senators and all California senators. You can Google each state’s government legislators and get the name of senators and their contact information. Please join in the fight against this bill. You may read below from a legislation list just what is at stake. Do not email, but fax your opposition to this bill please. If legislation like this passes, and it is pending in many communities and states, dog breeding will become a thing of the past and Peta will be well on its way to achieve its manifesto–end the ownership of animals. Without companion animals, I do not want to live in this world. <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n > Urgent AB 1634 Update <\/font><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We have just found out that California bill SB1634 has a serious chance of becoming law unless we unite and write our own state senators and all California senators.

> I have just learned from our contacts inside the Sacramento State Capitol,
> AB 1634 will not be heard in Senate Appropriations Committee on Monday,
> July
> 14th. AB 1634 will be sent directly to the Senate Floor without a vote in
> Senate Appropriations. This has just been confirmed by the Senate
> Appropriations Committee. This procedure is called 28.8. Its when the
> Appropriations Chairman decides there are no appreciable costs to a bill,
> he
> can determine it isn’t necessary to hear the bill in his committee, thus
> sending it directly on to the entire senate. AB 1634 also has been
> removed
> from the Appropriations agenda file.
>
> PetPAC is now asking everyone to direct their letters to 1) your State
> Senator; 2) to every California State Senator. Contrary to what any other
> group is telling you, I urge you to not delay.
>
> Send in your letters NOW. Contact your State Senator. You can write
> them
> about every bad aspect of AB 1634. You can tell them it will cost local
> governments millions of dollars. There is no Due Process; There is No
> Appeal
> Process; AB 1634 makes it a crime to own an intact dog or cat. This will
> affect thousands of dog and cat owners in California; AB 1634 will affect
> tourism in California; AB 1634 will affect law enforcement K9 units,
> working
> dogs and herding dogs in agriculture. There are no exemptions. This is a
> punishment looking for a crime.
>
> Please don’t delay. As California goes, so goes the nation.
