My little “Niki” passed away on March 25, 2018 because I could not afford the $8,000.00 to $11,000.00 surgery that he needed to live. I have written letters to Gov. Brown, Congressman, Senators, the President of the University of California who has control of the U.C. Davis Veterinary Hospital where I was denied medical treatment for “Niki, “ and to the Animal Legal Defense Fund and to President Trump. In my 15 page letter, I urged them to pass legislation for affordable “Pe...t Insurance.” A special tax can be passed by Californians to provide the funding to provide “Pet Insurance” for Californians. A bill should also be passed to provide low income, the disabled, disabled Californians, and Disabled Veterans, to have “Pet Insurance” to their pet (Family Member). These out of control fees by Veterinarians have been responsible for $200,000.00 pets being euthanized. Between the Veterinarians and the Shelters, California euthanizes 1.5 Million pets per year. It is estimated that the number of pets being euthanized by Veterinarians could be as high as 500,000.00 per year for legal pet owners who see their pets as part of the family. The average Veterinarian grossed over 1 Million dollars and the Pet Industry grossed over 1 Billion dollars last year. Isn’t it time that the pet owners have some say over whether or not their pet lives or dies!! Support me and “Niki” in this long expected battle against the Veterinarians and the Shelters that are slaughtering our animals by the thousands. We must put a stop to this genocide. In Germany, animals are not euthanized because of the murder of 6 million Jews during World War 2. They have learned from their mistake, but we yet have not learned from ours because the Veterinary Profession sees Pets as money, and the Shelters get paid for the carcass of an animal by private companies who in turn sell them to make compost or fertilizer. Niki’s Law I have urged my representative to pass “Niki’s” Law in a concerted effort to stop the excessive costs of Veterinarians and to stop the massive euthanization of innocent animals. Both have profited greatly from our pets. Veterinarians profit from the excessive and high costs of medical care for our pets, and the shelters profit by selling the carcass to private bidders to make a profit. My little “Niki” not lies in a grave because UC. Davis Animal Hospital charged me an excessive fee I could not afford to pay. Your pet might be next. Ramon Magdaleno “Niki’s Father See More Read Less
