For those who are interested in the LA BSL re Pit Bulls and Rottweilers...here
it is...$500 is a hefty piece of change and is aimed at getting more people to
quit the sport.
AB 861 will likely spread to other states. We're in serious trouble on this
folks...serious trouble.

BILL JOHNSON, a columnist at the Rocky Mountain News has another
insightful article, "The Trouble With Fear-Based Dog Bans" about the
mean-spirited, inhumane discrimination to people and dogs sanctioned
by the breed specific ordinances in the Denver, Colorado area.

CORRECTION: LOS ANGELES COUNTY BREEDING PERMIT FEE IS $175.00, not
$125.00 as we had incorrectly stated. Fees are set by ordinance,
contained in the County Code at 10.90.010 Fee schedule. This section
had been amended by ordinance in 2004. However, the Department of
Animal Care and Control web site has never updated their information
with the old fee:
"Backyard Breeder -- Dog Breeding License Required: Any person,
except for someone having a valid kennel license who, for pay or
other compensation, breeds a female dog must obtain an animal
breeding permit. The permit fee is $125. In order to prevent the over-
breeding of animals, each permit authorizes the whelping of no more
than one litter per female dog in any 12-month period and no more
than one litter per domestic household in any 12-month period. (Los
Angeles County Code Title 10, Sec. 10.20.045 and 10.90.010).

(Note: no readers have corrected us on the fee error.)
LOS ANGELES COUNTY Board of Supervisors meeting on January 31 had no
mention of details of the intended SB 861 permitted ordinance to
regulate breeding of Pit Bulls and Rottweilers, but details are now
emerging in the press.
A Copley News Service article reports:
"The board asked for an ordinance to be drawn up that would enable
owners of those breeds to obtain a $500 exemption permit if they can
prove their dogs are purebred, are registered with the American
Kennel Club or another legitimate agency, and can pass a temperament
test, among other requirements, said Marcia Mayeda, director of the
county's Department of Animal Care and Control."

The recently enacted San Francisco ordinance permit fee is $100 (Pit
Bulls only), but the existing LA County permit fee is already so high
as to invite an excessive amount. LA County dog licenses are $30
unaltered and $15 altered.

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE has passed the January 31 deadline for
remaining 2005 bills to pass out of the house of origin. None of the
bills we tracked last year moved forward. One new bill emerged as a
gut and amend, AB 450 to add a new Section 8608 to the Government
Code:
"8608. The standardized emergency management system established
pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 8607 shall take into account
the needs of individuals with household pets, service animals, and
livestock following a major disaster or emergency."
AB 450 has bi-partisan authors and co-authors and now heads to the
Senate where it will go through the committee process.
