California Veterinarians Against AB1634

The following veterinarians agree with the goal of lowering the number of animals impounded in shelters and reducing the number of animals euthanasias, but remain convinced that the methods proposed by AB1634 to accomplish these goals will be ineffective.

In addition, the methods proposed by AB1634 will lead to unintended consequences that will have a serious negative effect on animal health, the public, and the economy. AB1634 may actually lead to an increase in the number of animals impounded and euthanized.

We, the undersigned veterinarians are licensed in the State of California, and we oppose AB1634 because:

* AB1634 will not work and will create additional problems for the State of California.
* AB1634 does not address the true sources of pet population problem, especially the feral cat population.
* Animal population issues must be resolved at a local level, not state level.
* AB1634 is poorly designed, cannot be successfully enforced and would be extremely costly to attempt to enforce.
* AB1634 unfairly penalizes responsible citizens.
* AB1634 will have a significant negative impact of the California economy.
* We were not consulted, nor informed about AB1634 during its development. Many of us were unaware of AB1634 or the CVMA’s intention to sponsor it.
* We object to state government intervention on this issue.
