Congratulations to California animal owners! Their tireless efforts brought defeat at long last to the HSUS/Judie Mancuso/Florez trio's oppressive legislation.
CA PetLaw News Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Much like a disease-riddled cockroach, a bad bill is very difficult to kill. After resurrecting mandatory sterilization for pets yet again, the California assembly today wisely let the bill die a natural death.
At 10:10pm, on the fourth vote this evening on the Assembly Floor for the Motion to Reconsider re SB250 (today's file Item #43), the motion was finally granted. At 10:22pm, (CA) SB250 was brought for a vote on the Assembly Floor. Mr. Blumenfield moved the call as he did "not" get the votes.
Here were some of the comments prior to the vote:
Mr. Blumenfield asked for an AYE vote.
Mr. Norby stated "We voted on this how many times? I say sterilize the bill."
Mr. Hagman stated "We need to vote this down."
And, finally, Mr. Calderon rose to state "I can't understand that this bill is about euthanasia yet it just won't die!"
Speaker Pro Tempore Fiona Ma lifted the call for SB250. Here is the (unofficial) tally: YES ... 27 / NO ... 39
'THE MEASURE FAILS'
Official time of death: August 31, 2010 11:47 p.m.
Californians are sick and tired of bills that criminalize law-abiding citizens for unobjectionable acts that are well within their constitutional rights. Yet we know that the HSUS and Judie Mancuso have proclaimed their intent to continue the assault on our personal freedoms.
We are organized. We are determined. We are mad as hell and not going to take it any more!
We continue to stand in solidarity against tyranny and oppression.
Ding Dong SB 250 is DEAD!

CA SB 250 Revived- Action Needed Now
AKC Alert Thursday, August 19, 2010
California Senate Bill 250, which seeks to mandate the sterilization of a dog on a second animal control offense, has moved from the inactive file back to the Assembly floor and could be voted on any day. Amendments have been adopted, but they only modify the appeals process and do not alter our fundamental opposition to this legislation. It is imperative that California responsible dog owners and breeders immediately contact their Assemblymembers and Senators and ask them to oppose SB 250!
While the AKC strongly encourages all dog owners to abide the animal control laws and to be responsible owners, Senate Bill 250 is unreasonable. Two animal control violations may occur years apart and therefore not accurately reflect the true nature of the dog or the responsibility of the owner. Mandatory sterilization in these cases is an extreme punishment. Furthermore, the owner could be denied from ever owning an intact animal again.
How You Can Help
When SB 250 first came up for a vote in the Assembly in 2009, it was rejected due to the excellent education and grassroots efforts of concerned dog owners, exhibitors, and breeders in California. Your calls and e-mails do make a difference! Please take the time to contact your Assembly Member and Senator TODAY and ask them to oppose Senate Bill 250.
