Arnold Schwarznegger apparently hates cats
I can’t think of any other reason a man would want to give owners only 3 days to find their lost cat before they’re killed by the local pound. If I lived in CA, I’d be throwing a less-than-mild fit about this latest bullshit.
CA Governor Wants to Cut 3 Days off Shelter Cats’ Reprieve from Death
From six days down to three days. THREE DAYS?! Shame on you, Arnie. Heartless, reprehensible, and irresponsible. Why do you hate animals, Mr Schwarznegger? Why are you so anxious to see them murdered instead of returned to their families or placed in loving homes?
I’m not unreasonable — I know we can’t save them all. But to only give them three days is terrifying to me as a pet lover. I can just see a family going on vacation only to come home and find their cat escaped or was let out by accident, and the local pound killed him while they were away. I see my Mom’s newly adopted kitty (the awesome Willow, who is just a riot and sweet as pie), who was at the local shelter for a month. My parents just adore that cat, but had Willow lived in CA, she’d be dead instead of in a loving home. It can be hard to find the right home for adult cats, but she and my folks are a perfect match. It took a month to find that perfect match. Thirty days, not three.
Shame on you, Mr Schwarznegger. I hope you won’t be back.

Thank you for posting this. It seems as if the governator wants to terminate cats, doesn’t it? I am appalled, simply appalled! I’m particularly concerned as a California resident. I only let my cats out in the yard when I am there to supervise them (I’m in the process of putting up a cat-proof barrier to prevent them from getting out of the yard), but suppose there’s some mishap? What then?
Many years ago, my cat escaped from the carrier. She was gone for four days. I distributed posters, called everywhere, I combed through my neighborhood, and enlisted friends to find her.
A friend’s cat once went missing (after someone accidentally let it out). She was eventually able to find it at the local pound, but it took her longer than three days to locate her cat even after frantic searches.
