To pull our state's.... state.. out of such poor economic condition, Schwarzeneggar wants to reduce the amount of days an animal shelter can keep in animal from 6 to 3 days.

This made me angry. So i replied to it via the "email the governor" section of his web site.
I think I got my point across... with some treats a long the way.
SUBJECT: Reducing the end of days an animal can stay in a shelter from 6 to 3 before they are euthanized, because it will supposedly save millions.
It is a desperate, unnecessary, and cruel idea to put the red heat on so many homeless animals. Now I'm the last kind of action hero to get on a soap box, and I don't know any more than the average running man. But is it really costing the state that much money to give clean food and water to starving animals until the 6th day as opposed to the 3rd? I'd like to see the numbers on that because it sounds like you cooked up a story and dropped all the animals in a meatgrinder.
What kind of a predator would go so commando to think it necessary to terminate these lives just to save money? The alcohol tax and steeper traffic violations were annoying but I will take them over erasing innocent creatures any day. So is that what this is? A ruse so your other ridiculous budget proposals don't look so crappy by comparison?
Well maybe it would save money. And maybe it would save even more money to set all the elementary schools on fire so only the smart kindergartners that know their fire drills would survive - while hopefully remembering to save their ferrets. But I don't think you are the Arnold that wants to save ferrets OR humanity OR Daynaaaaaaa. Saving money doesn't justify drastic measures.
In short: if it bleeds, you can't just kill it. Domestic animals - much like certain invalids or seniors with very specific needs - have no voice. They look up to us. They come with us if they want to live. So the least we can do is give them their 6 days before they get the old needle.
Anyway, why should animals get the raw deal because of what YOU have done to send the state's economy jingling all the way to freeze in hell? Go get man-pregnant again or maybe just stop fucking California in the ass. You have collateral damaged this state beyond all recognition. I can't wait until your term gets its total recall. If this kind of behavior keeps up, I just might take a Christmas in Connecticut and never come back.
