California Now Euthanizes More Animals Than Any Other U.S. State
SACRAMENTO, Calif. - AstroBug -- Fix Our Shelters and Assemblymember Kevin McCarty will hold a press conference and rally to announce legislation that will prevent municipal animal shelters from euthanizing puppies, kittens, dogs and cats without first giving them a chance to be saved with a simple inexpensive public notification.
What: Press conference and rally to SUPPORT AB 2265, The Animal Shelter Transparency Act
When: Wednesday April 10, 2024, 11:30AM to 12:30PM
Where: California State Capitol (west steps), 1315 10th St, Sacramento, CA 95814
Who: Assemblymember Kevin McCarty and the coalition to Fix Our Shelters
It has been proven that when the public and animal rescue groups know that animals are at risk, they take action to SAVE LIVES. Every year rescues save over half of the 600,000 animals entering our shelters as well as a majority of those who are turned away at shelter doors. Yet daily, thousands of animals are killed in shelters across our state without the pubic or rescues ever knowing of their plight.

"If these shameful conditions and statistics are to change, our state must refocus their objectives away from ill-conceived and illogical 'reduced intake' programs and get back to basics," states Julie Virga, founder of Fix Our Shelters. "These programs have caused an epic crisis for the lost, abandoned and stray animals in the Golden State of California."
"When the lives of animals are at stake shouldn't there be greater transparency, oversight and accountability to protect them?" asks Virga. "Shouldn't every municipal animal shelter that cares about the cats and dogs in their custody SUPPORT AB 2265?"
