Support for SB 1233: Advancing Animal Welfare and Veterinary Training
The Michelson Center for Public Policy is proud to be one of the more than 150 organizations part of the California Animal Welfare Association (CalAnimals) that have signed a letter in support of SB 1233. This critical legislation mandates the development and implementation of high-quality, high-volume spay and neuter surgical techniques by the University of California and Western University of Health Sciences. SB 1233 aims to address the veterinary shortage and reduce pet overpopulation in California, ensuring more timely and accessible spay/neuter services. Join us in advocating for this important bill to enhance animal welfare across the state.

Collaborative Standards: University of California and Western University of Health Sciences to develop and implement best practices for spay/neuter surgeries.
