The Haden Act gives rescuers and the public more time to seek options for the animals no one cares for anymore. Without the Hayden Act, California shelter animals and their rescuers will have no option. They will be, as before, waiting in a cold dank cell to be killed.
Please contact Governor Jerry Brown’s office to voice support of the Hayden Act and it’s protection of California’s most valuable resource…its companion animals. Contact information at the link below. Please reshare.

I have a soft spot for shelter animals for sure. When I was a kid, we never bought a dog or cat; the cats all just showed up, and the dogs were all from the SPCA.
ReplyDeleteThat said, some animals really are aggressive. The sentiment that "there are no bad dogs just bad owners" is not true, and as the species responsible for the overwhelming overpopulation, we must also step up and admit that we can not keep them all alive. It's just not possible.
Until people start spaying/neutering their pets, they have no right to complain when shelters put down animals they deem unadoptable.
