You don't know what youa re talking about. This is a loaded hit piece that only gives you half the facts.
"The certain type" they describe here is ALL Republican legislators, because that's who else joined Rico on these votes. They left out many of the inane and ridiculous details of these bills that caused unanimous partisan opposition by the Republican caucuses Rico served in. Are you going to suggest that all Republicans are cruel to animals, because these bill votes could be used to make that argument.
Learn some details and facts before you tarnish a man. The Sacramento Bee is NOT a sort of objective information.
From the article:
"Steve Davey, Oller's campaign manager, did not dispute the votes cited by the Humane Society"
You suggest that Mr. Oller's votes were required by party discipline, but (again, from the article) "[t]he cockfighting bill was approved by both houses with only three negative votes."
That vote, along with Mr. Oller's other votes, suggests that Mr. Oller is a little weak in the knees when it comes to opposing animal cruelty.
