2006 California Animal Legislation Agenda
Every year, state legislators vote on dozens of bills that can either help or harm animals. Fortunately, our democratic system of government makes it possible for every single individual to make a real difference for animals by participating in the political process. All it takes is devoting a few minutes to contacting your elected officials and asking them to support legislation to protect animals and oppose bills that extend animal exploitation. Relatively few citizens take the time to make their views heard, so the voices of those who choose to do so are greatly amplified. In fact, politicians typically count a letter or phone call from a single constituent as representative of the opinions of at least 100 voters. As a California resident, you can help animals by speaking out on their behalf. Please use this guide to current state legislation and let your elected officials know that as a constituent you support stronger laws to protect animals.
