Schwarzenegger: California

Cows Can Keep Tails

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has signed a bill banning the practice of “tail docking” that he once mocked as being a waste of legislators’ time. Now California’s cows are the first in the nation with the legal right to have tails.

According to the Associated Press, the governor also signed other farm bills he famously ridiculed this summer as he tried to pressure legislators to focus on balancing the state’s beleaguered budget. In a signing frenzy, Schwarzenegger also approved a state blueberry commission and new label requirements for honey.
