Governor Jerry Brown has proposed a repeal of Hayden’s Law, an action that would endanger the lives of all animals entering California’s pounds and shelters. Since its introduction in 1998, Hayden’s Law has successfully raised humane standards in California’s pounds and shelters from near bottom nationally and worked to reduce the number of animals killed. Repealing this law would undo progressive legislation and return California’s shelters to killing tens of thousands more animals each year.
Alley Cat Allies does not support the repeal of Hayden’s Law, and we know you won’t stand for turning back the clock on saving animals’ lives. Californians, help us defend the legislation that raises shelter standards in your state.
