Say “NO” to CA Proposed Veterinary Tax

Make the Call Against the Veterinary Tax Proposal Now!

As some of you may have heard, Gov. Schwarzenegger is proposing to tax any and all veterinary services to help balance California's budget. Please join me in opposition to this absurd bill.

Call Gov. Schwarzenegger today and vote against the tax increase.

The statewide proposed tax on vet services will cause veterinary prices to go
even higher, meaning more animals dumped and abandoned. It will also hurt animal rescue groups, as they are already overwhelmed by an unprecedented increase in the amount of animals turned in. Adoptions have slowed by a large percentage and donations are way down, while fostering costs have increased because it takes longer to adopt their rescues.

This tax increase will only increase the number of animals euthanized in this
state. Over 150,000 animals are killed in this state per year already.

That number is outrageous in itself, why add to it?

This takes literally 5 seconds because it reaches the automated survey line at the governor's office — you can press the numbers one after the other without listening to the recording. The recording is automated so you do not need to speak to anyone.

Dial: 916-445-2841

Then press: 1 5 1 2

What you are pressing for are:

1 for English.

5 for the veterinary tax proposal.

1 to choose that you're calling about the veterinary tax proposal.

2 to oppose the tax.

Please repost and send this to all the animal lovers in your network!
