   Thanks so much for going to Sacramento to be the voice of the animals! What avenues do you recommend we pursue to keep up the pressure? Also, how on earth could the Governor's office come to believe Hayden incentivizes killing? What wonky logic are they using?

   Would it help to do a big rally at the capitol?

   Do you realize that Assemblyman Gattos last name actually means "cat" in Italian?

   Thank you Christi, for taking a lead. This is sad, there will be even more suffering. It's so discouraging, thank you for putting up this fight.

   My question is the same--how does it incentivize killing? I hope Jerry doesn't hope to run again if he does wrong on this.

   Please Govenor Brown, We The People Of The State Of California are just asking you to continue the suspension of Haydens Law which is costing the state nothing. It is literally the difference between life and death for these poor animals.

   Has anyone considered that if the governor wants to stop the "drain" on monies for the Hayden Law, then California needs to stop the flow of animals by putting a moratorium on animal sales in Petshops that are NOT FIXED.

   If you haven't already done so, sign the 'Don't Repeal Hayden' petition!

    Whom should we contact? The Governor's office? Our Assembly members and state senators? Please offer guidance and some talking points would also be very beneficial, also a link to contact information for the key people who need to hear from us.
    
    Thanks for your advocacy!

    I'm a lifelong Californian. I have friends who reside in other states who wish to sign the petition but I am unclear as to if this is a new petition? I know one petition by the Stray Cat Alliance has already been delivered to Governor Brown's office. Please clarify.

    I will do whatever it takes in broadcasting your information in the Social Medial circles. If the Gov. truly wants to save money for the state he could start with the CA elected officials pension program.

    Is the democratic legislature and Gov Brown a bunch of
    neanderthals taking the animals back to the dark ages?
    HOW COULD YOU weaken this law and take away a little sanity
    to help these poor defenseless and suffering souls. haven't they suffered enough. And you are going to deny them any medical care and you will not be giving the owners that work time to locate their lost animals.
    ARE YOU ALL OUT OF YOUR MIND????? don't you know that these are God's creations and when you die you who have
    done anything to hurt these living animals will all be
    condemned to everlasting hell. On earth, bad Kharma
    will surely follow you all around who have helped to
    allow these poor animals to die this horrible death for
    just being lost or dumped for no reason due to this horrible economy? they have done nothing wrong and should
    not need to suffer in any way ..

    Thanks, Christi, for doing this and for giving us the straight 411! We will continue to do all we can. I agree that the Governor's staff does not understand why this unfunded mandate should not be abolished.

    This is beyond anything the "Land of Milk & Honey" has done, I moved here from Nevada and wish to god I never left the Silver State, please Gov. don't do this, it's against all the laws of God and mom.

    Christi, PETA is apparently lobbying for the repeal of the Hayden Law. Check out the ASPCAs coverage of the "Caboodle Ranch" raid in Florida. They are using this tragedy as a reason Floridas Animal Act should be stricken down and compared it to Californias Hayden Law.
