People are buying animals who are not aware of the circumstances, ... You spend a lot of money, $400 or $500, the animal dies shortly thereafter, and you have no recourse.

For years I've been trying to understand why people who keep these animals are prepared to invest so much money, time and emotional resources. Superficially, there's no apparent gain from it.

Perhaps this is not as much money as I would have liked to have gotten. But under the circumstances it's a very good settlement.

If people and governments have money to spend on animals and the humane treatment of animals, they will. But in Mexico and a lot of other countries, that's sometimes not an option.

The job of [Cal-ISO] and DWP is to cooperate and keep the lights on, not to engage in territorial fighting,

My question is, if you thought you could do this through the PUC, why did you spend two years trying to run legislation?
