Another genius idea proposed by our brilliant politicians here in California .
If people can’t care for themselves , should they really have pets ?

Most shelters for people experiencing homelessness still don’t accept pets. But a bill under consideration in the California Legislature aims to make such shelter partnerships more common. Sponsored by Democratic Sen. Bob Hertzberg of Van Nuys, it would create
$5 million in state general fund grants for homeless shelters to offer shelter, care and veterinary services to the pets of people staying there.
“If you want to get people off the street—and I see it as an emergency—we’ve just got to change how we treat people,” he said. “Then let’s provide a shelter for their pets. It’s a small price to pay for a much a larger issue.”
