If you've seen Bill Maher's brilliant HBO show, Real Time With Bill Maher, you'll be familiar with his 'New Rules' segment, in which he lays down a few hilarious regulations for a better America that, if there were any justice in the world, would be codified into law on the spot. We're hoping that's exactly what happens with Maher's latest "New Rule," which is designed to help put a stop to the dumping of more than 800,000 unwanted animals in California animal shelters every year by encouraging the state's residents to support Assembly Bill 1634—the California Healthy Pets Act. As he says in the video,
“Unlike the catastrophes in this world we feel powerless to change—hurricanes, al Qaeda, Britney’s hair—you can do something about this. Have the balls to get your pet spayed or neutered.”
Check that bad boy out, then, if you live in California, click here for more information on how to contact your Assembly Member about turning this new rule into a state law.

Bill is just the greatest.
My husband and I would walk to the end of the earth just to watch Real Time.
We have been fans from the beginning.
The only thing that bothers us a little is when he is on Larry Kings show and very seldom speaks of the animals.
When Larry asked him one night the question, are you an animal activist?
He said to King, animals kill animals, now if he were referring to people as the animals, thats wrong, people who kill animals are monsters, not animals.
This is just my view.
I love, love, love this wonderful man.
To us he is one of the animals best friend.....

I'm impressed Bill.
The saddest part of his piece is the LAME excuses that people have for not spaying and neutering.
They will gladly let the pounds and shelters euthanize by the millions every year, but they can't lift a finger to get a simple procedure done that will reduce the killing.
