I love California too. If it wasn't so expensive here I wouldn't want to leave. I think that we pioneer a lot of new laws that make things better for the people. I have to move back to Illinois. I DO NOT look forward to coming back to a place where people are allowed to smoke in restaurants. The smell makes me sick to my stomach and my child has NEVER been around it.

As for the freedom thing. I served in the military and freedom isn't free. I am one of the most patriotic people you can meet, but I also understand that we need our laws. We tend to use the term FREE very vaguely. No country is truly free, but the ones that are "free" take the law into their own hands. But what happened if we were truly free? The people here would run amuck doing whatever they pleased. Freedom should have limitations so that it doesn't infringe on other people's freedoms. You can go smoke outside, but when you go and smoke in the same room as me you invade my freedom to my basic need of breathing. This is no disrespect to the smokers here. These laws are also in place to protect those who CAN NOT speak like our children, the unborn, and yes my friends... EVEN THE ANIMALS!

To me it is the same thing as the guy up the street who breeds his unpapered and bad temperamental pit bulls. Or the 20 year old neighbor who thought it would be cute to become a breeder let her 9 month old unpapered pug and a pug/terrier mix have puppies. Next they plan on studding their pug out to a beagle so they can sell puggles. Or the neighbor across the street that doesn't even groom their poodle and lets it run loose not fixed? Or my own parents who didn't fix even one of our cats or dogs when I was growing up? How about the a**holes on craigslist that sell their unpapered mixes at 5 weeks without shots?

Can anyone in here honestly say that they don't know someone who's guilty of bad breeding? Only the ethical breeders should be allowed to breed. This bill should make it so that only people who seriously consider breeding will do it. With 15 million dogs being killed it's gotten out of hand people. Things need to change and quickly. We are the humans who MADE these domesticated dogs and we have to fix the problem. How can people call themselves animal lovers and let all of these innocent deaths happen?
