Also to be known, this member of the legislature was elected to an area of central Los Angeles county that has no connection to the world out side of streets and intersections and properties with no place's outside of parks or communal spaces. I am going to explore his education and accrediations further to understand his motive but I would guess at this moment he just does not have enough of a clue as to why people own pets and how each person owns a pet and what it does for them emotionally and how much a pet means to that individual that does so and takes care of their pet the best they can to regardless of the financial status they have. Imagine this- someone like this guy starts to define the confines of what you are required to have in order to own a pet and what your are allowed to feed it and how much time you must spend with it when you have to work for a living. What's next ? pet permits and inspections ? Folks this is going beyond simple removed hunting pursuits and being folks like us. It's informing on our neighbors who are just pet owners and how they could become affected as well as animal rights activists being empowered to call LE upon their complaint to investigate just because they don't like us or how we take care of our pet. I love my pets and understand them on many levels from emotional to scientific and all of it counts in my opinion. This is a stupid uninformed bill all about emotion with with no science involved in it's formation.
