Snitch Fund for HB 1451

Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation (TDLR) has set up their "Snitch
Fund" to pay animal rights fanatics to enforce TX HB 1451 for them. HSUS
will surely make a major contribution. The TDLR message is below with
instructions for making breeder complaints and/or donations to the Fund.

The HSUS misnamed "Puppy Mill" Bill, TX HB 1451, passed our 2011 Texas
Legislative Session and was signed into law by Governor Rick Perry with
enforcement to begin September 1, 2012.

Texas Department of Licensing & Regulation (TDLR) was instructed to appoint
a Breeders License Committee and develop the "Rules" for implementation.
So it has been a tortuous long drawn-out procedure with Texas Humane
Legislation Network (the HSUS Texas lapdog) and the HSUS Texas State
Representative Nicole Paquette at every meeting, furious that the
regulations are not stricter than USDA regulations. TDLR is now ready for
action.

RPOA Texas Outreach will be filing our lawsuit any day now to block
enforcement of HB 1451. Just putting on the finishing touches with
plaintiffs. To our knowledge this is the first lawsuit ever filed against
the HSUS state "model" pet elimination bill and we'll need everyone's
financial support!

We now have $16,000 in the kitty which won't go very far We also intend to
file our own bill to repeal and replace HB 1451 as Oklahoma did with their
HSUS bill. This takes lobbyists. Donations can be made at our
www.rpoatexasoutreach.org URL with Paypal or mail in address.

Subject: Licensed Breeders: Training and Enforcement Account

Starting September 1, 2012, certain types of dog and cat breeders will be
required to be licensed in Texas. This new law, passed by the 82nd Texas
Legislature in 2011, requires breeders with 11 or more intact females to be
licensed by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR).

The new law also created the Dog and Cat Breeder Training and Enforcement
Account. Donations to this account will be used to pay for information that
results in disciplinary action against a person for acting as a dog or cat
breeder in Texas without a license.

Funds will also be used to promote consumer awareness of the Licensed
Breeders program, and support educational seminars and training activities
designed to help implement this program.

Anyone can make a tax-deductible donation, gift, or grant in any amount to
the Dog and Cat Breeder Training and Enforcement Account. In addition, all
fines assessed by TDLR for violations of this law will be deposited into
this account.

doug where can we find the final [ as of now ] draft of this bill and is section 802.005  #'s 1, 2, 3 still an exemption [ for now ] i know they left this bill as , to be updated as they see fit . 

[Txmason]

Yes, still an exemption as of now but there is plans of changing it in Jan.  What really gets me is a snitch fund so neighbors will turn you in.  But some will sell others out for  a small price.  If they have a complaint then they can pick up your dogs and just going to cost you time and money if you do get them back.  Every one should be watching this.

 last year before that bill was signed into lw, we should did fund raisers, and found a way to raise enough money to buy the votes of the voting commity. if wouldnt hav won the votes, we wouldnt be here right now and woulda given time to force changes to bill before it made it as a law.

[halfbreed]

it was fought and fought hard charles that is why the exemtions are still in place . it was meant to be all dogs across the board without the hunting dog exemptions . and the hsus is still wanting that examrtion removed .

[Txmason]

Fact is that we are out numbered as to votes.  The big citys have more votes that the country does and even the hunters that live in the citys want stand with us because they really don't know anything except they can buy a place to hunt and go and don't have to take care of anything.

All dog owners and dog hunters should come together to educate their neighbors as to what good we do instead of being in a fight with them.  Fact is that 14% of the voters control what we have to live by because dog owners want stand to gether with all other hunters to fight together for our rights.
To much personal feeling and personal dislikes.

[charles]

I know it was fought hard, but now its fighting again to keep what the few exemptions. Would it not hav been easier to buy to NO vote than to continue to pay for the fighting for many yrs to cone to keep the exemptions? Eventualy its gonna come to winner and looser, and unfortunately we r gonna be the loosers in this fight. I see the comercials for hsus askn for money, but dont see any comercials for our cause and rights. Advertisement nation wide is better than word of mouth n rallies for just tx residents. The nation needs to help stop hsus and other rights groups. A nation in whole is better than individual states

[halfbreed]

best we can hope for as of now is the rico lawsute filed againts the hsus by feld intertainment that could destroy the animal rights orgs. involved in it . it would be a good cause to stand behind and help support . and how active are you in wwwhumanewatch.org . it's a group working hard to cut off the head of the beast as well . we are out numbered and to try and fight them dollar for dollar would be impossible to do in my mind . but humanewatch would glagly air more and more commercials if the money was avaliable . facebook and you=tube are our worst enemys and until all photo's and post of kids sharing pictures the ars will never run out of ammunition to use against us . seems like dog people are like rooster people and won't join the fight till it's all over and done with . and that is the sad truth .

[charles]

I hav nvr heard of humanewatch, but i will ck it out. We can see where all of our calls and letter got us, a whole whooping nothing. The old saying "money talks n bs walks". Well it looks like all our letters and talkn was bs and hsus's money did the talkn and walked on us. While in afghanistan, i called, i sent emails and sent letter to the reps, senators n congressmen/women. I know more than myself did the same and our voices were not heard. You are correct that ALL hunters need to stand together no matter what method of hunting we do.

[halfbreed]

i know that's rite i'm surprised you haven't heard of humane watch you need to check them out they are a good group trying to educate the masses on hsus and peta deseptive ways . they put up billboards in times square and in beverlyhills calif . they have aired tv commercials as well they spent the money to air one during the superbowl in the dc area . but it takes a ton of money . but educating the masses especially them little ol ladies that give up their ss checks thinking they are helping animals is the key . and that is what humanewatches mission is . to educate the masses on hsus and petas true agenda and to show them where that money actually goes . only one percent of donations actually go to helping animals the rest goes to lobbyest and there salaries and pension fund . and peta the rescue folks [ as they would have people believe ] have a kill rate of about 97% on pets they take in to  [ adopt out ] .

 it is my opinion we can fight and fight all the bills as thay come out or we can attack the enemy at the source  = money
 we either play defense wich is mainly what we do now or take up the offense like feld entertainment is doing
