New Legislation Introduced to Ban Tail Docking in Dairy Cows
California Senate Majority Leader Dean Florez has introduced
legislation, SB 135, to ban tail docking of dairy cows, except "during
an individual treatment, emergency or operation, if the treatment or
operation is performed by a veterinarian for veterinary purposes" with
proper anesthesia. The move was praised by the Humane Society of
America, who stated the practice of routinely amputating portions of
dairy cows' tails-without any painkiller-is already banned in several
nations.

It's good news for God's Creation every time an effort is made to
alleviate the suffering of God's animals. It is our hope that this piece
of legislation passes and that it is adopted by other states.
