The fight is not over yet, but great news today because CVMA has withdrawn support of the bill.

Comments from many vets are online... here's one link

As of 27 June, ALL Supporters of AB1634 are not only advocates for the previously exempt puppy mills which they supported earlier, but now, animals bred for research are exempt. (I'm a scientist, so I'm not stating that to start comments about animal testing but to show that reading the bill is an ongoing thing and that many "pro" bill arguments do not have awareness about what is ON the bill).

The new rewrite also endorses breeding of immature dogs, because as written intact PERMITS cannot be renewed after one year . Many dogs are not adult until two or three years of age. Adult dogs of many breeds are normally given tests for such things as hip dysplasia, cardiomypathy and CERF before they are bred. More explained in link below.

Still, the Bill pushers are taking advantage of "bleeding hearts" pet owners to capitalize on appeal to emotion and no facts are given about the dozens of problems in the "rest of the bill" some of which are mentioned above. They say such things as if you do not support this, you are Pro-Kill. Which is ludicrous but gullible people buy the guilt trip.

I have an update on my blog and more details including hypothetical scenario on how this will affect farm dogs because I think given perspective, more people will understand why this is so wrong.
