This guy sounds clueless, if he wants to do what other more progressive states are doing, he should amend the California Code to include medical exemption language for unhealthy animals for which rabies vaccination would compromise their well-being. The states of Alabama, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin all have medical exemption clauses for sick animals in their rabies immunization laws, and a bill is currently pending in the California legislature to include a waiver in their statutes. Work on that Assemblyman Gomez.
