Re: NO on Prop. 6

["Potato RICHARDSON" <potator@hotmail.com>]

Steve,.  I know years ago about a horse buyer that bought anything that 
was less then a few hundred bucks because he would take them to the 
auction and make a few bucks additional.   I never felt bad that he 
would do what the current owners were unwilling to do!  Lets face it an 
unwanted "pet" and thats what they are treated like when they are owned 
by certain mentalities, is better off that way and so is the rest of us 
who enjoy our "pets".

>>Potato, I posted to Ridecamp several weeks ago with the same message

unenforceable

than

that

horse
