We have been asked to cross post this and send it to dog owners and kennel clubs. California is trying to pass this law to fund free & low cost spay/nuter programs. This would be a good thing, much better than mandatory spay nueter laws. Letters of support would be great, so anyone with a little free time on your hands help us out!:

Good news! Assemblymember Tony Mendoza (56th Assembly District) introduced today in the California State Assembly AB 2291.
This bill would provide a check off box on California State Income Tax Returns for contributions to free and low cost spay/neuter programs. This was an idea that was presented early on in our fight against AB 1634-- the California "Healthy" Pets Act as a way to fund spay/neuter programs without having to go on the attack against responsible dog breeders. Judie Mancuso told us that she already looked into this alternative and said it couldn't be done. Well guess what-- IT IS BEING DONE!
Concerned Dog Owners of California took this idea (along with another spot bill that is being considered) and are thrilled that Assemblymember Mendoza has introduced it. Now it is up to us in the dog fancy community to make sure that it passes through.
Please forward this post to individuals and kennel clubs throughout California and ask them to write letters of support to Assemblymember Mendoza's office. The contact information is below:

I don't get how this helps. AB 1634 can still pass and then we will still have to spay/neuter our animals it would just cost less. This only works if people actually take the time to take their animals in and get it done. It is only an alternative if the people behind AB 1634 agree to drop their bill. If they don't then it really only aids them in their cause...

Maybe. But it would take away the excuse that a lot of people have thet they "can't afford to spay/nueter my dog". They defeated the statewide mandatory spay/nueter law, but they are passing these laws locally in various places, including LA. If more people would spay/nueter on thier own, maybe we wouldn't need these types of laws. I'm all for helping people afford these procedures if money is thier only hold up. It won't do anything for those owners who just don't give a rats A@@ about thier dogs.
Exactly. It would take away that excuse. Which is a good thing. But what happens when people pay no attention to it and don't take their dogs in anyway? It takes time to make these things work. Time is not something we have in order to defeat AB 1634. It would take months maybe even years to get the number of people you would need to go in and get their animals spayed/neutered to get the statistics down to a level that made a difference. There are only 2 ways this could go down. Either the people behind AB 1634 will agree to back off and see if this bill works...or...they wont and AB1634 passes and then we still have to spay/neuter but we get to do for less. If AB 1634 doesn't pass, thats great! But that's only if it doesn't pass...
