CA wants to legislate a 9% tax on all veterinary services, including meds. This is really reprehensible at a time when so much is being done to heighten awareness regarding caring for animals.
Veterinarians, whose training and licensing is as rigorous as that of MDs will now have their care taxed as though they were dispensing canned goods. And the cost of surgeries, neutering, etc is high - an additional 9% will discourage many from giving pet care. This is morally WRONG; PLEASE HELP DEFEAT THE EFFORT BY SIGNING THIS PETITION AND PHONING GOVERNOR SCHWARZENEGGER'S OFFICE AT THE AUTOMATED NUMBER BELOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH for defending those who can't speak for themselves and for those who care for them.
PLEASE TAKE A FEW SECONDS TO DO THIS. IT IS COMPLETELY AUTOMATED. IT ONLY TAKES 5 SECONDS - YOU CAN PUNCH THE NUMBERS ONE AFTER THE OTHER. SAY NO TO TAXES ON OUR VET SERVICES.
