LEGISLATION

As we learned in 2007, if responsible dog owners do not have a presence in Sacramento, we are ceding the field to the animal rights activists that promote laws which make no sense and do not good.

Early this year, CDOC organized a letter from the stakeholders who opposed mandatory spay and neuter and asked our legislators not to waste time and money by following that path.

Although neither AB1634 (Levine) or SB250 (Florez) ended up as state law, they have been responsible for thousands of deaths as they were adopted by the City of Los Angeles and the County of Riverside. Your donations and support were the reasonCDOC, along with other organizations, was able to stop these bills in Sacramento.

2011 seems to be shaping up as a more reasonable year, but that is only because CDOC has had a presence for four years and has been represented by a lobbyist in Sacramento for the past four years.
