We're adding our voice to that of Save Our Dogs, Alley Cat Allies and others to ask you take just a few moments today to pick up the telephone and call the handful of Senators currently abstaining from a particularly sneaky and dangerous mandatory spay/neuter bill, SB 250.
If you're in California, please call the following Senators, thank them for abstaining from the vote on SB 250 so far, and ask them to continue to do so. Via Save Our Dogs, their numbers and some ideas for exactly what to say:
>>>>
Correa (916) 651-4034
Moreno Ducheny (916) 651-4040
Pavley (916) 651-4023
Wolk: (916) 651-4005
Wright (916) 651-4025
Yee: (916) 651-4008
Negrete-McLeod (916) 651-4032
Simitian (916) 651-4011
The above senators will be getting a LOT of pressure from Sen. Florez — SB 250 author and Senate Majority Leader — to change to a Yes.
If you haven’t already called, call the offices above and say:
“Hello, my name is [your name]. I live in [your city’s name] California. I’m calling to thank the Senator for abstaining on SB 250, mandatory spay/neuter for dogs and cats. I’m asking the senator to continue abstaining when it comes up for a reconsideration vote later this week.”

It will only take a moment. If you're still not sure why this bill is bad for animals and for pet owners -- and why Alley Cat Allies, the AVMA, the CVMA, and the ASPCA have all come out against mandatory spay/neuter, and why not even HSUS has come out in support of this bill -- we have more info here:
