| CA Shelter Animals threaten by law changes I posted this in the animal rights forum but I am so concerned I wanted to post it here as well. My Groomer informed me last night that California is trying to repeal the Hayden law which protects shelter animals. She informed me that one of the changes being proposed is how long an animal is held prior to euthanasia. Currently I think it is 6 days and they are considering changing it to 1 according to her. I honestly am not educated in these laws and provisions but I am going to start reading up. I just wanted to give all California dog owners a heads up to contact Governor Brown with your dismay over the proposed changes in order to save money. I have just started reseaching but here a a few links. I would love to hear from YT members who are more knowledgeable about these laws in order to be more aware. Gov.

| OMG I have not yet heard of this. I hope there are some more knowledgeable people here on it. I hope it's just a very inaccurate rumor... If it's not, here's a petition: Animals Petition: The Governor of CA: Do not repeal any provisions of the Hayden Law | Change.org

| One day! Six days is bad enough...but one day? That's insane! What will they want to do next? This is awful. Lot's of states follow CA's lead. This would be devastating for pets and owners.

| Oh my gosh! One day! Are you kidding me? That doesn't even give that animal a chance to be found or seen by new want to be owners. I so hope that doesn't pass. 6 days isn't much as it is. Why don't they pass a law that mandates spay and neutering instead. That would help the population control.

| I was informed it might be 72 hours. I have not had time to really research this as I had to work today but it is scary. I emailed Governor Brown about my concerns.
