More Bad Animal Rights Legislation

[Chris's Desta]

This is a call to Massachusetts dog lovers to please call your representatives and express vehement opposition to HB 5092. The well-organized, well-funded Animal Rights groups are systematically taking away our right to own dogs, state by state, city by city, law by law. We individual dog owners who are not in any political action committee and certainly don't have huge funding can only fight back by opposing anti-breeding, (anti-dog) legislation one voice at a time through contacting our congressmen.

If you live in Massachusetts please take a few minutes to read this AKC News article for more details and please call or write your congressmen.

"Massachusetts HB 5092 Bad News For All Dog Owners

[Thursday, September 11, 2008]

In a stunning procedural move, Massachusetts House Bill 1948, which was a reasonable and non-discriminatory dangerous dog bill supported by both the AKC and the Massachusetts Federation of Dog Clubs, has been replaced by House Bill 5092, a conglomeration of many anti-dog, anti-responsible breeder, and anti-responsible owner proposals. The American Kennel Club is not only deeply concerned with the many unacceptable provisions of the bill, but is also disturbed by the procedural maneuver used to deny the concerned dog-owning citizens of Massachusetts an opportunity to state their objections to the egregious bill in a committee hearing format."

The rest of the article contains more information including the names, addresses and phone numbers of congressmen as well as a link to type your zipcode to find out who your representatives are.

Let your Massachusetts friends, family and neighbors know the scoop and please ask them to call or write.
