Comments
We will not support a bill that provides additional cover for those that use hounds against wild animals. Animal fighting is animal fighting whether or not the involved species are wild or domestic. This could be a positive bill otherwise.

Comments
We do not support AB 75 as written as it specifically weakens cruelty protections for a subset of dogs. All dogs, regardless of use, should be provided the same protections. AB 75 also removes judges’ discretion in sentencing animal cruelty offenses.
