Hopefully, animal WELFARE people will 'teach' him correctly!!

We have to teach ALL politicians 'correctly' not what crap HSUS spouts.
Most, when informed, change their stance.
HSUS, and ARs know how to present their case to the legislature. They wrap it all up in feel good mumbo jumbo etc.
But a wonderful example of how they where defeated was in CA with the ear crop ban. No matter what a person feels about ear cropping, it is not the govt's business to tell me what I can and can't do. If someone doesn't believe in ear cropping, they are free not to.
some of the national breed clubs got together and hired lobbiests and had people fax and call the legislators, etc. There was no way to change the mind of the AR that introduced it to the legislture, but she realized that no one would vote for it as they had been educated. Gov Schwarzeneger was said that he would veto it anyways, etc. So she took out that clause.
