People don't sterilize bobcats or mountain lions or hyenas or rats or wolves or coyotes or bears or ducks or...

There are programs to sterilize wild deer populations in some states to slow the population growth.

Great idea, then we can watch ballot initiatives go from California to Florida in record time

New York plans to introduce a bill to ban the declawing of cats.

The three cats I've had in my life (2 current, 1 in kitty heaven), none have been declawed...never, ever, ever, would do that.

But to make it illegal...well...that's just going to lead to more cats being euthanized and not being adopted. A lot of people don't want a cat that's going to claw up the furniture.

Which is worse? Declawed cat or dead cat. You tell me.

Some what of a local media frenzy, Radio and T.V. Hear about is every 1/2 hour since the last Horse died. No real reporting just the Flash at a horse died. Whatever happened to investigative reporting and creditable references. They need to change California to the Chup State.

The BIG question is if California is able to get something on the ballot and if it does then it gets REAL as in the prospect of no racing in CA for at least a period of time. I believe all here and around the country do not like the situation in SA as far as horse fatalities but when there is inaction or perception of no action then you are just inviting the hammer to come down on you and that seems to be what is happening out west.

Except the action these activists want is shutting down all the race tracks. There is no compromising with these people.

If they get a measure on the ballot, it is no racing forever in California. The public hates us and the tracks will quickly be torn down once it passes.

I don't believe for a second that PETA as an organization wants racing stopped, this is easy money/donations for the org. The problem for them, which they caused, is that the mainstream media has now taken over as the voice for a public that wants something to complain about and voice outrage

Peta, in Australia, took in $1.8M(AUS) in donations in 2018. They returned $0.00 to animal welfare.

Unless I'm mistaken, I don't think those people protesting outside of Santa Anita are part of PETA. I believe those were the same people that showed up to the CHRB meeting demanding that horse racing be stopped in the state.

Same people showing up for the same cause time and time again. Out of the good of their pocketbook....

They routinely manipulate search results to get the public to accept the programming.
