SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - A bill to reduce the number of unwanted dogs and cats by requiring the spaying or neutering of pets has won approval in the state Assembly — with a little help from retiring "The Price is Right" host Bob Barker.
The measure passed the Assembly by a 41-38 vote Wednesday, the bare majority it needed to move to the Senate.
Supporters mounted a lobbying effort that included phone calls to wavering Democrats by Barker, who contacted lawmakers after hosting his final show Wednesday.
