		<description>I am just 'aghasted' by Mr Barker's defamatory letter. Although Mr. barker is probably passed his prime, both he and Mr. Levine ought to undergo mandatory speutering themselves. It makes me cringe to think they have added to the already flawed human gene pool.</description>

		<description>I think Mr. Barker should be sued as well.  It is defamatory to say the least.  He needs to retire from his 'do-gooder' activities.  I am apalled at his statements.</description>

		<description>Bob Barker probably doesn't read, or care about, the content of any AR propaganda sent over his signature.  He's zealot and just wants to impose his will on everyone else, facts and science be damned.  He's clearly a puppet for Mancuso and Crew.  They have certainly never cared about the truth.  And, at his age, dementia cannot be ruled out...</description>

		<description>Since when is juvenile sterilization, with no attention to breed or size of an adult dog, 'humane treatment'?

In my opinion it is the exact opposite.

Of course, it supports the radical AR agenda of 'one generation and out'.  All that money spent on lobbying and contributing to campaigns is really paying off these days.

Since sterilization compliance is at an all-time high, even if it were true that there is a 'pet overpopulation' problem (please), legislating the procedure would have little effect on the population as a whole.

MSN is the new BSL - more effective, less pushback.</description>

		<description>I wonder if Barker's statements are actually libelous/slanderous... to make such accusations damages CDOC's reputation and possibly their tax status (or a least threatens them, since if it WERE true they would lose their 501(c)(3).. they make a point of emphasizing that they do not/cannot support candidates)</description>

		<description>I assume the letter went out to the mailing list for "Friends of Lloyd Levine," but the CDOC's letter went only to Levine.</description>
