It would have been hard to predict at the beginning of the legislative year and anyone could make Assembly Member Levine look responsive but Florez has managed to do this. For those of you who have forgotten the Committee hearing, it is here.
One of the problems that the Senator has is that his bill makes the 500,000 people who went to one or more AKC events last year irresponsible owners with this bill. Some because they do not have their tags on in conformation events and some because they have to be off lead to compete in performance events. And with Los Angeles Animal Control conducting sting operations so charge people training their dogs at the parks; can you doubt that other cities will follow their lead. One dog show sweep alone could net almost $500,000 in fines and court costs.
