"There's a place to post opinions at http://www.foxbusiness.com/on-air/stossel/blog/2011/06/20/licensing-problem Please go there and post something about HSUS attempt to regulate dog breeders out of existence." Let's get our voices on these blogs and social sites! Carole Owen .............................................. The comment by Anstamm regarding TX HB 1451: *Commercial dog breeders are already subject to 90 pages of federal regulation. The Humane Society of the US (HSUS) and other animal-rights organizations are conducting a campaign to introduce so-called "anti-puppy-mill" laws in all 50 states. These bills would impose similar regulations on hobby and home breeders. These bills are proposed under the guise of "protecting" animals, but animal cruelty and neglect are already illegal. The real purpose of these laws is to make dog breeding so expensive and complicated that most of us will eventually drop out. Sen. Santorum's support for the federal PAWS bill contributed to his downfall in PA, and Gov. Rick Perry's signature on HB 1451 in Texas will hurt his political future with the community of dog breeders. BTW, Americans spend billions on their pets each year, so if we dog breeders are strangled by government regulation, the economy will definitely know we are gone! If you love dogs, for heaven's sake, be kind to dog breeders.* |
