There are a total of three animal welfare bills our California Governor has vetoed: AB 243 (sponsored by Assemblymember Nava) would have authorized the court to make an order prohibiting the defendant (convicted of a violation of failing to care for animals) from owning, possessing, caring for or having any contact with animals of any kind and would have authorized the court to order the convicted person to immediately deliver all animals in his or her possession to a public entity. This court order would have been a condition of probation. AB 241 (also sponsored by Assemblymember Nava) would have limited to 50 the number of adult dogs or cats that an individual or business which buys or sells wholesale or to the public may possess or control. AB 1122 (sponsored by Assemblymember Lieu) would have made it illegal to sell, display or offer for sale or give away, a live animal on any street, highway, public right-of-way, parking lot, carnival, or boardwalk.

Our governor vetoed down 241. I am worried about SB 250. It needs media support to help get it passed. Our governor and many politicians don't seem to care about our companion animals and ways to help save lives and save taxpayer money. There is a terrible pet overpopulation problem. Can you generate a list of pet friendly (meaning educated and compassionate) politicians around the country? Maybe the more people chat about this the more progress can be made. Simply writing a letter, if you've never written one before to our politicians can make a difference. Thanks.

A little, black, ten year old dog was found running through traffic in August. She was covered in ticks and fleas, starving. We adopted her and Divya is a fantastic addition to our family.
