Abstract

This measure would recognize the humane treatment of companion animals through the eradication of neglect and cruelty and the fostering of kindness and empathy toward companion animals as core principles of the State of California. The measure would encourage any formal declaration of a "sister state" relationship, or similar relationship, between the State of California and a foreign country, state, or city to emphasize those principles as core principles of the State of California. The measure would encourage all parties to the declaration to include in the declaration a joint commitment to promote the humane treatment of companion animals and promote kindness and empathy toward companion animals through laws, resolutions, and policies, and through the humane education of their people.
