Kentucky Animal Action’s
Senate Bill 193 - ACAB - Spay/Neuter Funds

LEAVE A MESSAGE FOR HOUSE MEMBERS:

Simply ask them to:
***co-sponsor and pass SB 193. Lowering overpopulation will lower all other problems that face Kentucky companion animals and Spay/Neuter is very important!***

Currently the Board that controls the funds raised from the purchase of spay/neuter license plates lacks strong representation from those groups that advocate for and are most actively involved in spay/neuter efforts, as well as those most in need of the funds the license plates are designed to provide.

If SB 193 passes, Kentucky Animal Action along with a spay/neuter advocacy group, will become part of the Animal Control Advisory Board (ACAB), which will increase assistance to KY shelters in obtaining much needed access to the state’s under-utilized spay/neuter fund.

We cannot overstate the importance of these funds for improving everything related to animal welfare. Pet overpopulation is the most significant driver of euthanasia, cruelty, neglect, abuse, starvation, abandonment, disease outbreak, and many, many other forms of suffering and abuse that Kentucky animals face. The single most effective solution is spay/neuter and that is why this legislation is so important.
