As I said in another post...let the AHA concentrate on children and leave the animals alone. Any organization that can't decide what its main purpose is is bound to be floundering around on points...and supporting AB 1634 puts the AHA on the side of Animal Rights...no matter WHAT friendly phrases it bandies about. AHA is NOT a friend to us. If it wants to be a friend to children, fine...and most of us like kids but kids are NOT the topic at hand.
