Help Protect the Rights of our Cats and Dogs in CA
We need your help.
Dear Friends of Los Angeles County Cats and Dogs,
Who is opposing California AB 1881 which is known as the 'Bill of Rights for Dogs and Cats'? Cal Animals (see www.calanimals.org) is one of the only organizations in the entire state of California opposing the rights of cats and dogs to be treated humanely and with respect. The organization's President Marcia Mayeda just so happens to be the Director of Los Angeles County's Animal Care and Control too. Yup, the same person responsible for closing down open access to Los Angeles County Animal Pounds which has and will continue to result in the death of thousands of our homeless dogs and cats.
Here is what Marcia Mayeda's organizations response is to the bill,
"On behalf of the California Animal Welfare Association (CalAnimals) and the 230 shelters and animal control agencies we represent, I regretfully submit this letter of opposition to AB 1881 as currentlydrafted. Our organization appreciates your desire to establish a better understanding around proper caretaking of cats and dogs in CA, but there are a variety of issues that prevent us from supporting this
bill.
Generally speaking, aspirational language should be presented as such and not presented as rights. The language provided in this bill is both subjective and nebulous and will result in confusion for the publicas to what can and will be enforced, saddling our animal services agencies with unrealistic expectations.
For example, how will a California resident interpret their dog or cat’s right to be fear free or free of exploitation?"Excerpt from response letter by Jill Tucker, California Animal Welfare Association (CalAnimals)
In response to this effort by our own out-of-control Los Angeles County Director Marcia Mayeda's organization to interfere with this effort to protect our animals, let's together show our support of District 53 Assembly Member Miguel Santiago's AB 1881. We need to do anything and everything we can to stop Marcia's efforts to harm our animals including showing our support of AB 1881. Below you will see Miguel's efforts in getting people to support AB 1881 the 'Bill of Rights for Dogs and Cats' which Marcia's organization opposes below. We just need to do three things to help get this passed.

As we all know, Marcia Mayeda has locked out OPEN ACCESS to our Los Angeles County Animal Pounds while all other animal pounds across California have fully reopened. NOW, Marcia is attempting to make sure our animals are not protected from the abuses that happen in our California animal pounds where more than a 100,000 dogs and cats die each year. Our homeless animals are walked down a hallway by trusted employees of Marcia Mayeda in our California Animal Pounds without any rights protecting them from wrongful death. And now Marcia is trying to stop any action being taken to protect our innocent.
Please take just a moment and write a letter of support for AB 1881. We must stop well paid animal abusers from winning this war over life and death issues. Don't let the ones killing our animals win because you don't take a few minutes and write a letter supporting animal rights. WRITE A LETTER RIGHT NOW IN SUPPORT OF AB 1881.
