Here is what you really need to know. The bill is VERY much ALIVE and WELL!!!! The Senators on the committee acknowledged there is a pet overpopulation problem that must be addressed (this is huge), and indicated that they are willing to work with us to get the bill through their committee. The Senators were engaged, compassionate and we thank them for their open-minded approach to this important issue. Assembly Member Levine and our witnesses were incredible and reinforced how large the overpopulation problem really is. I cannot answer all your emails, I have over 1,000. So, please visit our site later tonight or tomorrow for the latest information. Sincerely yours, Judie p.s. thank you all again for your incredible dedication to our pets and shelter workers.
