Legislative Rally for Animals – May 16, 2025
Hello Dear Animal Lovers, Rescues, Advocates, and Networkers,

We’re calling on you to stand with us at the LEGISLATIVE RALLY FOR ANIMALS
WHY WE’RE RALLYING
California is facing an animal overpopulation emergency.
Shelters are overwhelmed. Rescue groups are at their limit. Animals are paying the price—with their lives.
We are coming together to demand statewide, systemic change.
Join us and speak up for:
Free Spay-Neuter Programs for low-income Californians
State funding for shelter spay/neuter assistance
Stricter illegal breeding laws and enforcement
Stronger animal abandonment penalties
A statewide spay-neuter mandate
Animal ID and registration laws
Tax incentives for adopted, fixed pets
Social media regulations for online animal sales
Shelter transparency: public reporting of intakes, euthanasia, and live release rates
A centralized public data platform tracking all CA shelter stats
SPEAKERS + PARTICIPATION
We are inviting pro-animal legislators, rescue leaders, and passionate advocates to speak.
Would you like to help organize or speak at the rally? Let us know!
We’ll be sharing more details, actions, and speaker announcements soon.
