SB

250 at a glance

Each

year, over $250 million dollars is spent housing and euthanizing homeless

dogs and cats in California. Approximately 1 million dogs and cats enter

California’s shelters each year, and over half of them are euthanized

(killed) simply because there are not enough homes.

Right now in California our shelters are

seeing an explosion of animals coming into the shelters due to the bad

economy, meanwhile the shelters are faced with budget cuts and laying

off staff.

This enormous

number of homeless pets is a moral and ethical crisis,

and an expensive drain on our state's finances. SB

250 provides a reasonable, fiscally responsible step

towards reducing pet overpopulation in California in two ways: by fostering

responsible pet ownership through increased animal licensing, and by offering

incentives for owners to spay and neuter their pets.

Please note that SB 250 does

not affect feral cat caregivers. The bill applies only to pets

that live on your property.

 

Before this economic downturn we needed SB

250, but now we cannot afford another year without

it. Just this past week our state passed an expensive milestone... since

January 1, 2009, California has now spent over $100,000,000 tax

dollars just to house and euthanize the unwanted pets in our state. Please

help prevent the needless suffering of dogs and cats in our shelters,

support the overburdened shelter staff that cares for them and the rescue

organizations who try to save them.
