Round #1 Of Hayden Law Repeal Attempt Goes To California Shelter Animals

The California Assembly Budget Subcommittee rejected Governor Brown�s attempt to repeal critical elements of the Hayden Law yesterday. Tens of thousands of concerned citizens had contacted their elected officials � Best Friends members alone sent over 47,000 messages � urging them to reject the appeal. The legislators got the message loud and clear.

From here, the attempted repeal goes to the State Senate Budget Subcommittee on April 11 at 2:30 p.m.

We won round one, but the fight to protect this landmark legislation is not over. Please call the following subcommittee members to express your opposition to the governor�s proposed repeal of the Hayden mandate:

Senator Joe Simitian: (916) 651-4011
Senator Jean Fuller: (916) 651-4018
Senator Alan Lowenthal: (916) 651-4027

Thank you once again for your committed support.

Best Friends Animal Society

Best Friends is a nonprofit organization building no-kill programs and partnerships nationwide, all coordinated from our Kanab, Utah headquarters - the largest no-kill sanctuary for homeless companion animals.

At the core of our work is the dream that one day kindness will replace cruelty, and animals will no longer be destroyed because they are unwanted or imperfect. Spaying and neutering will be the rule for all pets and adoption from local animal shelters and rescues will be the first option for everyone. Those same shelters and rescues will have the knowledge and resources to help rehabilitate special-needs animals and find the right family for every animal.
