POPSDonna Haraway's Critters Donna Haraway is capturing a fundamental truth in the way way humans in modern western culture interact with animals. It isn't about human domination over the animal world, but humans and animals as companions on Earth. Her request that we take a serious and new look at the relationship between humans and animals from both a cognitive and scientific perspective is laudable. I also value curiosity and the inquisitive nature of humans as "precious and fragile and not very nice virtue."

POPSCVMA Supported Legilation Passes The Gov signed SB 762 by Senator Sam Aanestad (R-Grass Valley) - Professions and vocations: healing arts! This is key legislation for veterinarians and other health professionals. Cities can not longer create laws that override the practice act...like declawing.

POPSOne More Try - SB 250 CA Spaying & Neutering (Florez) Is this bill different than Mancuso's AB 1634 "CA Healthy Pets Act?" Currently SB 250 requires an "owner or custodian" to provide a certificate of sterility, unless written confirmation is obtained from a licensed veterinarian that serious bodily harm, or death would result from spaying, or neutering the animal. California animal owners are wary of a change in the legal status of animals as a result of the use of a term other than owner. Custodian does not have a legal definition and is not legally equivalent to the term guardian. Still, the use of the word custodian will cause reticence for some to support SB 250. I currently hold a watch position for this bill.

POPSVeterinary Services Tax Removed from the California Budget This is a great victory for the CVMA and its grass roots efforts. The Governor was thinking that veterinarians a re a small group. He was mistaken. A tax on veterinary care would affect pet owners or 63% of households. Pet owners joined the CVMA and they were heard in Sacramento.
