Message from Jeff Helsdon, DPCA Legislative Director
California AB 1634 has passed out of the Assembly Business and
Professions Committe e. The bill is now before the Assembly
Appropriations Committee, the same committee before which we
successfully defeated SB 1548, which would have criminalized ear
cropping, in 2004.
AB1634 would mandate that all California cities and counties force
castration and hysterectomies of dogs and cats at four months of age,
whether those cities and counties wanted to do so or not. The
legislation would create a new form of license - a breeder's license -
that must be obtained by any person in California who wishes to own
a dog or cat with reproductive organs intact. The purpose of the
license is to be able to take it away - if it were readily available
at all.
This draconian bill is the work product of radical animal extremists,
who count among their members the prime sponsor of the bill. AB 1634
is entitled "The Healthy Pets Act," although it makes no effort to
address the health of pets at all.
Make no mistake about it. The passage of AB 1634 sounds the death
knell for dog and cat breeders in the state of California, and is the
beginning of the end of pet ownership in the United States.
This bill must be stopped. NOW.
The DPCA Legislative Committee has activated the DPCA LobbyNow Tool.
If you do not live in California, do not use the Tool yet!
If you are not a DPCA member but are a concerned dog or cat owner and
you live in California, you may access the LobbyNow Tool using the
following hyperlink:
http://dpca.lobbynow.com/issues?AB1634
Please forward this link to all California dog and cat clubs and all
AKC parent clubs.
Please remind them to ask that only California residents use the
LobbyNow Tool at this time. We want the Assembly Appropriati ons
Committee members to see that the first batch of e-mails come from
California residents.
At an appropriate time, very shortly, we will notify you as to when
non-California residents should use the LobbyNow Tool to demonstrate
the scope of the opposition on a national level.
Thank you for your cooperation and assistance. Together we will
prevail.
Very truly yours,
Jeffrey P. Helsdon
