The only way you personally voted, was for who you elected to the city council. Oh wait are you on the city council?? Its ok to have an opinion but don't make stuff up.

This measure will only increase shelter killing because those that cannot afford to have their pets neutered will be dumping them to avoid the fines.

Please do your homework. In California, they put things on the ballot and allow people to vote on them.

Two propositions about animal rights will appear on the ballot in November, thanks to the initiative of grassroots organizations in California.

Over 700,000 citizens signed petitions for both measures so that voters will decide whether Propositions 4 and 6 will become California law.

Proposition 4 prohibits the use of a "padded steel-jawed leg hold trap" when catching fur-bearing or non-game mammals for commercial or recreational use. It also prohibits the use of two specific poisons...

Proposition 6 makes the possession, transfer, or receipt of horses for slaughter for human consumption a felony...

Why?

So that people could dump their horses all over the state when they can longer afford to feed them. Thats happening now all over the country because there is really no other recourse.

Oh I see you voted in 1998 on the spay and neuter ordinance the City of Los Angeles passed in February 2009, whatever SP

SP since you cannot even seem to read what you write yourself let me refresh your short term memory......
"Please do your homework. In California, they put things on the ballot and allow people to vote on them."

My comment before your comment above was about the spay and neuter, and you implied that the spay neuter was put on a ballot that everyone could vote upon. Why don't you stay out of conversations that seem to confuse you into writing butt covering tripe.

Well, back when the ammendment was on the ballot, apparently more than a few people got really upset when they found out their pet horses, which they had sold, were being transported into other states and ground up as meat for consumption. Most people who keep horses as pets would never consider selling them for this purpose. They thought they were going to loving families. So, it caused an uproar. there were people buying the horses under the pretense that they were going to keep them as pets. And then, there's this... ...It said that horses are killed in cruel and unusual ways when they are slated as food, because euthanasia ruins the meat of the animals...

No it doesn't. You run an electrode up their arse and *zap*. So long, Black Beauty.

I was quoting that last part. I don't know how they are killed. I was just reiterating my rememberance of why some people wanted that issue on the ballot (it was over 10 years ago). I think people don't want to eat any kind of meat that they consider pets. Since a lot of people keep horses as pets in this country, eating horsemeat is horrific to them, like eating cats or dogs. I certainly wouldn't want to eat it, but I rarely eat any kind of meat anyway.

Taken out of context that could be a bad thing.

Sentimentality has its place.
