Dear California Advocates,
California Senate Bill 917 will increase the amount of jail time a judge may issue to a person convicted of animal neglect. This ASPCA-supported bill has already passed both chambers of the California Legislature and is now on Governor Brown’s desk, awaiting his approval.
Animal neglect is a form of cruelty that is less obvious, but more common than the beatings, fights and acts of torture that tend to grab headlines. Neglect causes extreme, prolonged suffering—sometimes even death—and is just as serious an offense as intentional physical cruelty.
What You Can Do
As you may recall, similar legislation passed last year, but then-Governor Schwarzenegger vetoed it. Let's make sure Governor Brown doesn’t make the same bad decision. Please be the animals' voice—email Governor Brown to urge him to sign SB 917 into law.
Visit www.aspca.org/CA today to send a quick message to Governor Brown letting him know that this law is important to you. And don't forget to pass this on to friends and family who care about animals!
Thank you, California, for standing up for neglected animals.
