Guys, I found this on duckhunter.net. Since a lot of us use, or have used dogs to take pigs or other big game, this will probably interest you.
This is just ridiculous.
BILL NUMBER: AB 342 INTRODUCED
BILL TEXT
INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Koretz
FEBRUARY 11, 2003
An act to amend Sections 3960 and 4002 of, and to repeal Section
4756 of, the Fish and Game Code, relating to mammals, and making an
appropriation therefor.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 342, as introduced, Koretz. Mammals: taking.
(1) Existing law prohibits a person from permitting a dog to
pursue any big game mammal, as defined, during the closed season, or
any fully protected, rare, or endangered mammal at any time.
Employees of the Department of Fish and Game are authorized to
capture any dog not under the reasonable control of its owner or
handler, that is in violation of that provision, or that is
inflicting, or immediately threatening to inflict, injury in
violation of this provision. Under existing law, certain violations
of the Fish and Game Code are misdemeanors.
Existing law prohibits a person from using dogs to hunt, pursue,
or molest bears, except under certain conditions.
This bill would recast those provisions by prohibiting a person
from allowing a dog to take any mammal for hunting purposes or from
training a dog for that purpose.......................................
