Tribute Statue Must Appear "Neutered"

A marble monument to service dogs, originally set to be displayed in
Sacramento, California, may be on its way out of the golden state. The
reason? The statue's "manhood" is still intact.
Proponents of the recently-tabled state assembly bill AB-1634, the
so-called "California Healthy Pets Act", which would require that most
of the state's dogs and cats over the age of 6 months be sterilized,
claim that placing the image of an intact male dog on public property
is harmful and sends the wrong message to California pet owners.
"Its not an appropriate display, in a state that carries out three
million euthanasias a year." said Dan Nender, a 1634 supporter who
filed suit in Sacramento Federal Court to have the monument altered.
Pressed about the number, since most reputable sources set that number
at 400,000, Nender replied, "One is too many. Concentrate on the point I'm
making, not the numbers."
The sculptor who created the piece, Fidel Marquez of Hemingford,
Nebraska, has already refused to alter it. "This is ridiculous. I'll
put the damn thing on my lawn before I 'neuter' it."
"Frankly, it doesn't matter what the artist wants, or for that matter
whether the lawsuit succeeds." responded Nender. "This is the will of
the people... and don't ask me which people, and we're going to carry
it out. If this guy doesn't want to do the work himself, we'll sneak
in there at night and use a Saws-All on it."
"We cannot have intact testicles on government property. As California
government officials, at least the one's on our side will attest to,
Sacramento is a testicle-free zone." ....
OMG!
I'm sorry but this is so stupid its funny. These people obviously have way to much time on their hands.
this is not true, but it had me going for a few hours!!
This one got me! and I don't get "caught" very often. It's very well done. Go to the site that has the article and click on about us and you'll get the whole sti=ory.
Even though it sucked me in hook line and sinker for a while, no hard feelings! I can certainly appreciate the skill of this little bit o'satire at our AR friends expense!

They have lost thier minds altogether, haven't they!!!
Hooray for the sculptor! He has more balls than those worthless politicians. Other than that, I'm freakin speechless!

Takes alot, but I'm done!
Perserverance isn't a long race.
It's a series of short races,
ran one after the other.

Bad Info...
I recieved this from Responsible Pet Owners Alliance. There information has as far as I know always been accurate, but it looks as if we got snookered this time.
Sorry,
Ward
no one has balls in california
let's start by castrating the lawmaker who proposed this idea. If the lawmaker is a woman lets spay her. I hope the residents of California that voted in these half wits, remember this at the next election. If lawmakers (regardless of where in the country they are elected)cannot work on real issues and waste our money on removal testicles on a statue, they should feel guilty for taking their paycheck this week. And before the HSUS and other similar groups jump on me, they to need to move from a glass house and in closing I wish to have it known that I am a former Animal Control Officer
We cannot have intact testicles on government property
Maybe the human males should all be neutered too!
hahahahaha...........
that is so damn rediculous!!!!! Scarey that these are the people that are running the country..........no common sense whatsoever...like little kids.
Now this is ridiculous!!
Good for the artist for standing his ground, but in the end it won't make a difference.
Now I've heard it all. A neurted statue!!
it's a good reminder...
To always check the source, I didn't and had already forwarded it a few places before I got clued in!
That being said, it's a good piece of satire andi don't mind having a laugh at our "friends" expense.
