After watching the video, I have conflicting thoughts. I'd love to hear others' opinions on the matter.

1. The amended bill is now good because there will be a decrease in dog population..which will decrease demand on shelters and rescues.

2. The amended bill is still bad because it will give the anti-dog the impression of having "won" (I know I'm not wording this the way I want it to come out)

Those are good questions. I am also interested in hearing others' opinions.

To me, it sounds like a compromise. I am guessing that Jackie Speier felt as if she had to respond and address the issues following the pit bull attacks. But she also had animal advocate groups pushing as well.

I am just glad that what's going on in Denver, CO is not going on in California. And I hope that I don't have to add "yet".
