Glad to see Drudge has linked this:

WHEN THE GOVERNMENT "can come into our homes and decide whether our dogs can have gonads," says Carol Hamilton, "that's the day I leave California." She is sitting in the dirt pulling tufts of undercoat from a slight, wheat-colored terrier, using sharp, decisive jerks. Clouds of beige fluff collect around her, emotion rises in her voice, and her fur-tugging gets more urgent. The dog, a Cairn terrier she has just met, lolls contentedly in her lap.

I'm too damned tired right now to write another post about AB 1634 (California mandatory spay and neuter), but I'm glad it's getting the national attention it deserves, because nutty ideas like this start in California and then spread. AB 1634 is nanny statism at its worst -- and I've sounded off about this in post after post after effing post (including here, here here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here).
