The dog will be killed immedialty, giving no time for a family to locate their pet. Imagine, your old senile dog wondering off, and AC finds the dog and deems him old and immediatly puts him down. Imagine, your young dog accidently gets loose from you and is now scared and growls at an animal control officer and is then deemed aggressive and is immediatly put down or someone's old chronically ill dog wonders off and is deemed sick and instead of being treated is put down. A family given no time to even call or locate their animal. Please tell the Governor that the seven day hold needs to stay in place. This has to be done prior to August 25. If it is passed, it could be your dog one day effected. FB is the easiest way, like his page, go to discussions and ask him to please Veto this bill / Bill 2923. Assembly Bill 4036
Thank you.

Who wrote this bill?!?! Who are its sponsors, backers? What is the thinking behind this that AC would want to kill NJ dogs so readily? The bill's backers should be contacted and brought into the public forum as well. They passed the thing.
