Done!!
Dear Governor Christie,

On behalf of New Jersey’s companion animals, I am asking you to veto Senate Bill 2923, Assembly Bill 4036. By changing the state’s mandatory seven-day hold period to allow for arbitrary decisions about euthanasia based on “age, health or behavior”, many more animals are likely to be killed in New Jersey shelters. The hold period is a necessary regulation that allows for owners to reclaim their lost pets. If you change the language, older animals, or those with treatable medical conditions may be euthanized by shelters before their families even realize they’ve gotten loose. This law could have disastrous consequences for New Jersey’s pets and owners alike. Please veto it immediately. Animal-lovers across the country are watching New Jersey; show them you care about protecting the state’s pets, and leave the mandatory hold period as it now stands.

thank you very much Gov. Christie, I know you will do the right thing and veto this law..
yours,
Carmen Stone
