HSUS has proposed legislation in California to amend our state's shelter standards. If passed, it would allow (and in some cases require) shelters to give dogs and cats to for-profit companies to sell for any reason whatsoever. Moreover, it eliminates the right of people to reclaim their lost cats if the cat does not have identification. These cats can be adopted out or given to for-profit companies right away. The bill was introduced at the request of Jennifer Fearing, HSUS' lobbyist in California.
