ASPCA asks Californians to support Ca Assembly Bill 1122

Dear California Advocates,

California Assembly Bill 1122 would prohibit the sale of animals at flea markets, swap meets, roadsides and in parking lots. This humane bill would eliminate the profit motive from people who sell sick animals and protect consumers from unscrupulous breeders.

Many of these animals are bred and raised in poor conditions and sick at the time of sale--and since dogs and cats sold in this manner typically are not spayed or neutered, they contribute to the pet overpopulation that leads to thousands of homeless animals being euthanized in the state each year.

This bill is scheduled to be heard by the California Assembly Business and Professions Committee this Tuesday, April 21.

What You Can Do
This is your chance to be the animals' voice-- take a few minutes to email your assembly member today to ask him or her to vote for AB 1122. Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center to send your letter.

Thank you, California, for taking action for animals.
