Thank you for THIS! An audit is in definitely in order for California taxpayers and animal advocates. We must demand absolute transparency of this $50,000,000 grant that was suppose to help shelter animals- not harm them.

I have personally reached out to UC Davis / Vet School’s Dean Mark Stetter and Associate Dean Bruno Pypendop to ask them to look at their cruel and ILLEGAL 🙀community cat 🙀program at UC Davis.

I sent them your article! Along with Judge Bacal’s 12/20/24 ruling.

This inhumane program is being operated and promoted in their school—to their students, as well as to California shelters and shelters all across the country. It is being promoted by one of their own veterinarians Kate Hurley.

We’ll see if they respond. Also reached out to California’s controller, Malia Cohen to ask for an audit of this grant. Next contacting Governor Newsom and the Board of Regents at UC Davis vet school.

Could use some support… Others are welcome to send emails and call. One voice unlocks another! We taxpayers deserve and demand transparency. 🐾

Keep up the great work!

I would like to see this on the nightly news, abc, cbs, nbc, it needs a large audience for true change to come. Corporate greed is alive and well in the animal world, and everyone needs to know about it.

Amen! The glaringly obvious dynamic is that you can't have no-kill without widespread spay-neuter and until that's addressed, everything is a game of manipulating data in order to massage the public's emotional responses to euthanasia in order to keep the donations rolling in. Also, promoting and supporting veterinary medicine careers, so that wide soread spay- neuter services are available to begin with.
