A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
BALDWIN PARK, CALIFORNIA, DECLARING ITS
SUPPORT OF AB 1634 THE HEALTHY PETS ACT

in animal shelters that are overburdened with surplus animals; and
WHEREAS, an additional unknown number of animals die each year due to
abandonment, neglect, abuse, starvation, or cruelty because they are unwanted; and
WHEREAS, reducing the number of unwanted animals and controlling pet
overpopulation are preventable problems that can be solved by spaying or neutering
pets; and
WHEREAS, State legislation would provide the most effective means to help
control the pet population by establishing a uniform program to be implemented by all
local jurisdictions; and
WHEREAS, the best way to reduce the number of pets that are euthanized each
year is to require spaying and neutering of pets, or require a current permit for unaltered
pets.

HEREBY RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. That the City Council of the City of Baldwin Park hereby declares
its support of State Assembly Bill AB) 1634 Levine), the California Healthy Pets Act,
