ࡱ> HJG ;bjbj?? $,]]; q#^mmmm"mmmrTpC"D?!L 0z#m#pmp y:   LAST YEAR YOU VOTED NO ON SB250. CDOC IS ASKING FOR YOUR CONTINUED OPPOSITION TO THE BILL. This was a bad bill last year and the hastily written amendments, which now allow people without due process in their communities to go to Superior Court, do not make the bill any better. And there is no provision for S/N to be more available It would increase costs to Local Governments and the State of California. At 100% compliance, this would increase state costs by $149 million as more dogs are seized and euthanized. These numbers are not hypothetical. They are based on the states own numbers that track what happens when there is MSN, as an initial requirement or as a secondary offense. (See Increased Death Rate). The Department of Finance opposed SB250 this is their summary. This bill would result in a substantial increase to the General Fund cost of the Animal Adoption mandate. The Animal Adoption mandate currently costs more than $24 million annually to reimburse local government shelters cost to care for impounded animals. Given the current economic climate, requiring the owners of dogs and cats to pay for sterilization procedures would result in more animals being abandoned or surrendered because of the owners' inability to finance the sterilization procedure and pay additional fines. This bill could create a new state-mandated local program by requiring local agencies to utilize existing procedures or establish new procedures for unaltered dog license denials and appeals, which would create additional pressures on the General Fund. The increased administrative costs of these new tasks are unknown. Because fines for owning an unsterilized dog or cat would only be assessed if there were a concurrent citation for another violation, this bill would also limit local agencies' ability to collect additional revenue to offset new costs associated with enforcing the bill's new provisions. There is not a single place where MSN, whether as a primary law or as a secondary offense has been effective in reducing impounds, deaths and budgets. San Mateo, the first community to try MSN in California, long ago abandoned MSN as revenues fell. San Mateo now opposes MSN of owned dogs. Currently MSN has been tried in three places in California, either as primary (Los Angeles and Lake County) or secondary (Santa Cruz County). In all three locations, killing has increased, costs have increased and those three communities enjoy higher euthanasia rates than any of the surrounding communities. Indeed, Lake County has a euthanasia rate of 4 times the rate of the state as a whole. California continues to suffer in a recession. People are turning animals into shelters at an increasing rate as they cannot keep them or have lost housing. And at the same time the shelters have lost of safety net of the Hayden Act so more animals are clogging the shelters. This means that every municipality in California that used to get reimbursements from the State is not without that money. The City of Los Angeles just laid off shelter workers go because of budget issues. The City of Sacramento cannot open and use their new shelter because they cannot afford staff. There is no a single problem SB250 would address that is not already covered others laws already on the books in California. If local governments are concerned, they have the tools at their disposal. SB250 was not written at the request local governments, this is championed by asocial Compassion for Animals, a well-funded organization with wealthy backers that has never made a donation to a local shelter. And who is SB250 directed at? Not stray dogs, but dog owners who are guilty of A dog not wearing a license on its collar at all times; in most communities there is no exemption for dogs in the show ring, in conformation obedience or agility. Indeed several agility groups will not allow collars (USDAA and NADAC). A licensed dog that gets out of the yard Any dog that is training off-leash Any search and rescue dog at work Any farm dogs that stray off of bounds of the property Any dogs working on obtaining hunting titles but whose owners are not licensed hunters Puppy raisers for service organizations; as their dogs are not yet service dogs they are also at risk. Californians who love cats. Any Californian who feeds an un-owned kitten or cat for more than thirty days is then deemed to be the owner of the animal. And must then either keep the kitten/cat in their home, in their yard, or pay the costs of sterilization. (6) Devastating to the Service Dog Community. Many organizations sent letters in 2009 stating that there is nothing in SB250 to exempt the puppy raisers who are the backbone of every service organization. And there is no exemption for the breeders that provide 90% of the service animals in California. (7) There is nothing in the amendments which make sterilization surgeries more affordable. There is an option that if they wish to local governments may waive fines or fees if the person qualifies to be placed on a waiting list for low-cost S/N. It does not define low-cost. (6) Californians found guilty must not only must sterilize the dog in question, but can be required to sterilize every animal they own. And Animal Control can refuse to issue licenses for any future dogs. This truly is one strike and you are out. All of these issues have been brought to Senator Florez attention. He told colleagues he would work over the winter to improve this. He has not only ignored all these issues, he has NEVER met with the stakeholders, in spite of the fact that we have tried to arrange meetings.
