>>>I also attended the legislative hearing for this bill and was very
>>>disappointed in the number of people who blindly supported this
>>>legislation (especially members of the veterinary community) without
>>>doing any research into whether this type of surgery would harm our
>>>dogs, whether it would actually work and who the bill should actually
>>>be targeting (Good God, the idiot-otherwise known as Lloyd Levine-
>>>basically gave the puppymill type operations in the state of
>>>California a pass to breed as many puppies as they'd like.)
>>>
>>>After the hearing, I visited the offices of each member of the
>>>committee, spoke with several of the staff members and left
>>>information refuting the nonsense that Levine was spouting.  Since
>>>the vote was tabled until the next meeting, it means either Levine
>>>did not have enough votes to get this out of committee or he intends
>>>to amend the bill.   I certainly hope it was due to the fact he
>>>didn't have the votes.
>>>
>>>If this does pass, we need to get a referendum placed on the ballot
>>>in the next election that will allow pet owners the right to control
>>>their own animal's veterinary care.   This is really not that
>>>difficult to do.   One would need to write up the legislation they
>>>would like voted on and then gather a number of signatures equal to
>>>5% of the people that voted in the last election for governor.  Once
>>>that is done, the signatures are given to the Secretary of State and
>>>the referendum is placed on the ballot.  From what I'm hearing and
>>>seeing, if this is voted on by the people of California it has no
>>>chance of standing if passed by the legislature.
