Action Alert ... one more time!
We're in the home stretch and must keep up the pressure for Governor Rick
Perry to VETO the HSUS and Texas Humane Legislation Network (THLN)
Anti-Breeder Bill HB 1451. This bill is not written to regulate dog and cat
breeders but to eliminate them. The requirement of minimum standards equal
to federal (USDA) regulations means home based breeding in Texas will become
illegal.

The exemptions for certain working dogs are not defined and qualifications
will be written by an Advisory Committee. It is impossible to find an
impartial advisory committee in this state as the extremists have
infiltrated all levels of government, State Bar Animal Law Section, humane
societies, animal controls, etc. Remember the THLN mole, Della Lindquist,
in Texas Dept. of Licensing & Regulation that helped write the bill? Animal
Rights Extremists are opposed to all working dogs and pet ownership in
general.

Please renew all efforts. If the bill becomes law without Governor Perry's
signature, he still "owns" it. This will harm his future political
aspirations as he's contemplating running for president. Tell him all eyes
are on Texas! Veto HB 1451! Save Our Pets!
