Does it seem off to anyone that AB409 appears just after people start taking the CA Fish & Game Dept to court and if it passes, would make the CA Fish & Game Dept the one to define what species or even dog or cat breed if they wanted, would be legal or illegal..Thus if one takes the CA Fish & Game Dept to court for killing their dog, they could simply state that breed of dog is now illegal to punish the owners for daring to take them to court. As for ferrets, AB409 passing would make it impossible for ferret owners to take the CA Fish & Game to court at all, because they re-wrote their own laws so that they make ALL the decisions on ANY animals, domestic or non-domestic... -- National Alternative Pet Association P.O.Box 1688, El Cajon.
