| Description | While Gov. Jerry Brown looks for ways to defeat the state deficit, he may find himself barking up the wrong tree. One of the methods, he has suggested is repeal of the Hayden law that went into effect in September, 1997.
The law gives the public a longer period to find lost animals before shelters euthanize them. It also extended hours for the public to visit shelters and allows owner-surrendered animals four to six business days in addition to the day they entered the shelter to remain alive before being eligible for euthanasia.
Repeal would cause shelters to euthanize animals coming into shelters within 72 hours. It would also withhold necessary veterinary care, limiting or even eliminating chances for adoption or owner-redemption of lost pets. |
