Assembly votes to ban approved SB12212 on a party-line vote after a lengthy debate, sending it back to the Senate for con- currence. The state Assembly Proponents of the ban say dogs chase the animals until they are exhausted and climb trees, holding them until the hunter arrives. Sen. Ted Lieu, D-Tor- rance, the bill's author, has likened the practice to ''shooting a bear at a zoo.'' On Wednesday, Democ- ratic lawmakers called the use of hounds inhumane and unsportsmanlike, while Republican lawmakers rep- resenting rural areas framed the ban as an attack on Cal- ifornians' right to hunt. ''There's a bigger agen- da behind this bill, and that is to diminish, if not destroy, hunting in Califor- nia,'' said Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, R-Gerber. The legislation arose after a California fish and game commissioner used dogs to legally hunt and kill a mountain lion in Idaho. Supporters say dogs used for this type of hunting are sometimes mistreated, and call the practice unneces- sary and fundamentally unfair. ''This is about a key issue of terrorizing wildlife unnecessarily,'' said Assemblyman Anthony Portantino, of La Canada- Flintridge.
