The Governor wants to add an additional tax to take your animal to the vet. This will also affect shelters and rescue organizations and can have severe detrimental affects on companion animals. Vet services are expensive enough and adding this tax will make it much harder for some people to afford to take proper care of their pets.

This affects ALL vet services, not just meds & other items purchased from a vet. This means dogs, cats, horses, birds, reptiles, rabbits, etc. If it's a pet & goes to a vet, there will be a tax. Right now, services are not taxed, only goods. So you currently don't pay a tax at the vet unless you purchase meds, food, supplies, etc. This will mean an automatic 9% increase on all vet visits.

Please send this on to the people you know who could be affected. Thanks.

If anyone out there is against a 9% tax on veterinary SERVICES
(not talking about purchases here) and has not yet acted, please do
so. I absolutely hate phone stuff, but I did it and it only takes a
minute or two even if you get a busy signal at first and have to
redial a few times. Here's all you have to do:

In Less Than One Minute:

Please protest this tax by calling our Governor in Sacramento. The
number is to an automated survey at the governor's office. The call
is not free, unless your cell covers all calls, but it It will take less than a minute and will cost very little.

Dial: 1-916-445-2841

The numbers to press in response to the questions are: 1 - 5 - 1 -
2 (i.e., 1 = for English; 5 = to transfer to veterinary tax
proposal; 1 = to choose to comment on the veterinary tax proposal;
and 2 = to oppose the tax.) This menu has NOT changed although the first message you get when you call says that the menu has changed; it did, it changed to these steps.

Take a moment and take action NOW. Please ask your friends to do the
same.
