Lloyd Levine, who seemed to be either a fifth columnist for the militant animals rights team or one of their Useful Idiots, is toast.

In case you've forgotten (ha ha) he was the author of the infamous AB1634 which proposed statewide mandatory sterilization for every dog in California by the age of four months, regardless of breed, regardless of size.  Actually, it wasn't directed at every dog.  Those who live in hellish puppy mills were to be exempt.  The Bill planned to target the dogs owned by hobby breeders, working dog owners and pet lovers.

The newshounds over at the Pet Connection have the story.

Tyrone Yates has had second thoughts about his proposed statewide ban -  the search-and-destroy variety - on 'pit bulls'.

He's decided that perhaps it wasn't too logical and might have been a bit Draconian.

He's right.

Giving credit where due, at least Yates had the guts to admit he'd made a mistake and is trying to put things right for the people of Ohio.  For that, he'll get respect, unlike some politicians I could name.

KC Dog Blog has the details.

Note:  Posting has been super-light lately for various reasons. 

I'll be working the DLCC booth at Woofstock this weekend in Toronto. Drop down and say 'Hi' if you're in the area (Front Street between Church and Jarvis).  We'll have t-shirts for sale, some designed by me.  All proceeds to the Ontario legal fund.
