NO on Prop. 6

[cberto@juno.com (connie B Berto)]

Potato, I posted to Ridecamp several weeks ago with the same message you
did -- NO, No, no  on Prop. 6!!    It is  another layer of unenforceable
beaurocracy.   It's pushed by some bleeding hearts with more money than
sense (heirs to Long Drugstore fortunes).   It addresses situations that
don't exist, and completely ignores REAL issues, such as:  Humane
treatment of horses bound for slaughter for cat and dog food;   Humane
and quick dispatch of those unfortunates;   Tighter inspections of horse
ownership at high-volume horse sales and auctions;   Increased penalties
for horse theft.  
       I don't know how or why  the Calif. State Horsemen's Association
should have been suckered into supporting this, except that Gini
Richardson is their Legislative  Chair.   I intent to write CSHA; 
several horsegroups to which I belong get insurance from CSHA (and
therefore must be members).   With dumb initiatives like this, no wonder
people don't take equestrians seriously.   
    BTW --- congratulations on your win at Tevis!    I followed it on the
website this year, for the first time, and what a kick!     Thanks for
your  post.   Cheers,  (;-), Connie B.
