Several bills making their way through the California Legislature seek to address overcrowded animal shelters and streamline how animals receive care.
Cats and dogs can't speak up for themselves, but their allies have been making a lot of noise in the California Legislature recently. The overcrowded and unsafe conditions of animal shelters are the topic of several Senate and Assembly bills aiming to improve conditions in California's animal facilities and curb the stray cat and dog population.
“Animals have no voice. So we are their voice,” Nguyen said in a statement. The bill is designed to improve shelter management. It would also clear up some ambiguity in the state's penal code on animal cruelty that makes it a misdemeanor to abandon an animal. State law does not recognize that some animal rescue organizations would rather fix stray cats and release them back in the wild rather than place such animals into shelters or put them up for adoption.
