AB 241 , Assemblymember Pedro Nava’s the Responsible Breeder Act, co-sponsored by SCIL, is currently sitting on Governor Schwarzenegger’s desk, awaiting his signature.
This is a hopeful time in California for those of us concerned with mistreatment of pets, and it is your phone calls and letters that helped AB 241 come this far:
If the Governor signs AB 241, it will become law on Jan 1, 2010, and the number of large puppy / pet mills in California will be dramatically reduced. If he vetoes it, we must start the entire process again next year, and the suffering of these innocent animals is prolonged.
We urge you to call the Governor and let him know how important this bill is to you. Legislation limiting the number of dogs in puppy mills has already passed in Louisiana, Virginia, Oregon and Washington. It is time for California to join them.

When you call the Governor’s office, you are offered the option to simply press a key to indicate your support of AB 241, but we recommend speaking with a live operator if possible to make sure your voice is heard.
My sincere thanks for your help,
