CA SB 250, Radical Tactics

Subject: CA SB 250, Radical tactics A person with the Concerned Dog Owners of California stated yesterday that the Animal Radicals hired a call center to contact the few Senators who had abstained on SB 250 the day before. The offices of these remaining Senators were inundated with telemarketers calling with false names and urging a "Yes" vote. The result of this tactic was a call ratio of 50-1. A Senator's staff member confirmed this with another individual, saying they were receiving a lot of Robo calls and didn't know where they were coming from or if the names were even real. This odiferous activity just puts more pressure on reputable dog breeders, rescuers and pet owners to stand up and be counted on legislative matters! The bill passed when it was voted on the next day. Since this tactic worked for them in CA, expect the ARs to adapt it for other states.
