CA AB 1230

[Peter Meyer]

AB 1230 is going to kill that damndable 1221. Thank you Assemblman Donnelly.

Some fresh, inspirational quotes I dug up:

"Although what has been prohibited by the Hunting Act is a specific set of
practices, what has been put under threat, from the perspective of those
who hunted, is a cherished way of life."
-Prof. Garry Marvin refering to Britain's Hunting Act of 2004

"Public opinion, a vulgar, impertinent, anonymous tyrant who deliberately
makes life unpleasant for anyone who is not content to be the average man."
-J.R. Lowell

"I might have been found guilty but I certainly don't feel like a criminal. We had
two hounds, a marksman and we shot a fox. I don't know what else we were
supposed to do to comply with the law."
-Tony Wright, Huntsman of the Exmoor Foxhounds, on being the first
Huntsman convicted under the Hunting Act

" We observe at the outset that the experience of this case has led us to the
conclusion that the (Hunting Act) is far from simple to interpet or to apply:
It seems to us that any given set of facts may be susceptible to differing
interpertations. The result is an unhappy state of affairs which leaves all those
involved in a position of uncertainty."
-Judge Graham Cottle overturning the conviction of Tony Wright, Exeter Crown
Court November 30, 2007
