Just keeping everyone in the loop with regards to legislative stuff going on out there. Please feel free to cross-post this to other sites - the more we are all aware of what is going on - the more we can do to help fight the anti-led legislation.

For those who say: "That'll never affect me;" or "I don't live in the
city;" or "They'll never pass that;" or the real kicker "They can't enforce
that;" this is for you! Read it closely. City, county and state laws are
being passed every day that affect all animal owners. What passes in one
city is soon put forth in other cities.
City animal control departments are emboldened by radical "animal rights"
extremists who work not only to get their anti-pet legislative agenda passed
but who volunteer to enforce it! Statewide outrage led by Judy Griggs with
Rescued Pet Adoption League was responsible for the city of Dallas having a
change of heart and allowing the Gideons to keep their pets. Thanks to
everyone involved!

Animal Services revoking all of the pet licenses and ordering the couple to
'...remove all dogs and cats from your residence. within fifteen days."
