BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) â This morning, Julie Johnson, the Executive Director of the Bakersfield SPCA, joined 23ABC to discuss their new initiative to educate the public about the effects fireworks have on animals.
The Bakersfield SPCA is selling yard signs as a way for pet parents to let neighbors know they have pets that get scared by fireworks.
The yard signs are available at the SPCA for a minimum $25 donation. They are located at 3000 Gibson Street. When you get there call 323-8353 extension 2 and staff will take your payment and bring the sign to your car.
This weekend three local nonprofits will be partnering up for a benefit concert. "Concert for the Causes" will be featuring performances by Granger Smith, The Voice Season 19 and Bakersfield's own Jim Ranger, and more.
As the weather gets warmer everyone is waking up! And that includes wildlife. With recent bear and mountain lion sightings in Cal City, 23ABC wanted to talk about what to do if you cross paths with a wild animal.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) â May 25th marks one year since George Floyd was killed outside a convenience store as he was being arrested by Minneapolis police, including former officer Derek Chauvin who was convicted of murder.
His death sparked protests across the country along with calls for change. As a result, lawmakers created a self-imposed deadline to come up with a police reform bill. Although both sides of the political aisle say they are optimistic the push to create new national policing standards is not going to happen by the president s deadline. The George Floyd Justice in Policing Act passed the House last year but it s still being negotiated in the Senate.
