His wife is the Vice-President of the Humane Society of the United States, which contributed funds to his election campaign.

The HSUS is a pretty strong animal rights group, who wants to dictate who may have animals, how many you may have, and how you may use them, if they may be intact so you may breed them, or if they must be mandatorily spayed or neutered against your wishes in the case of dogs and cats.

The American Kennel Club and dogs breeders have been actively and expensively fighting restrictive, anti-animal ownership laws the HSUS has been trying to introduce across the country for the past several years.

Yes, California is the hotbed of that type of restrictive legislation.

Louisville, KY, btw, has one of the most restrictive animal-ownership laws in the country (thanks to HSUS)

The Congressman is the mouthpiece for his wife's, and the HSUS, very strong animal rights agenda.

After all - everyone wants to "help the poor animals". How can anyone be against that?
