WOW !, great article! I being an ex-resident of Southern CA am so not surprised to hear that this measure is being proposed.
If it passes then new owners of "surgicaly changed" dogs will just be purchased from other states. Just as the European countries, they buy their pets here if they want the ears/tails docked.
My Annabelle the Schnauzer ALMOST was shipped to Switzerland from here in the good ol' US of A. Only because Switzerland cannot crop a dogs ears. Well, the breeder just wasn't willing to ship a dog that far so we were fortunate to adopt her. Now we did not crop her ears even though offered, it's just I personally like the floppy look. However, I don't agree with a possible law telling me I am not allowed to crop/dock if I choose to do so.
Ok, I am off my soap box now!
