Against Report Date 6/24/2021 Comments While we supported the original bill and most of the language within, we can no longer support the amended version that essentially gives blanket immunity for hound hunters for injury or death to their dogs.

Against Report Date 8/20/2021 Comments ASA 1 defeats the original intent of AB 368 - to strengthen cruelty protections for companion animals - by removing protections for hunting dogs. ASA 1 also contains added language that could disproportionately impact multigenerational families.

Against Report Date 10/12/2021 Comments The bill as amended would do more harm than good for animals. ASA 1 creates a loophole by removing cruelty protections for dogs used for hunting. In addition, ASA 1 would have a disproportionate impact for multi-generational families and their pets.
