Call for a Temporary Moratorium on Shelter Euthanizations in California during Coronavirus

The Issue

"The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them....that's the essence of inhumanity"  -George Bernard Shaw 

Across the country, the need for social distancing has impacted many industries. One industry in particular stands at high risk for both economic catastrophe AND moral injustice and that is the community of animal shelters. Dog and cat adoption events have been canceled and fewer people are visiting shelters, leaving more adorable animals in the cold. 

Especially the animals who will be left behind due to the Coronavirus Crisis.

This petition is aimed at Governor Gavin Newsom to IMMEDIATELY impose a temporary moratorium on shelter euthanizations

Please sign this petition in an attempt do what’s morally right for the voiceless.
