MASSACHUSETTS ALERT

IMPORTANT!!!

May 14, ALL the dangerous dog bills plus one of the cat bills will be heard by the Municipalities committee  11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in room A-1. Plan to be there!

Oppose                SB 1167  Sen. Joyce ˆ Mandatory spaying and neutering of cats
SUPPORT          HB 1948 (Rep. Hill) ˆ Dangerous Dogs
Oppose               HB 1919 (Rep. Callahan) ˆ Canine Rehabilitation Center
No Opinion         HB 1993 (Rep. Spellane) Condemned Dogs
Oppose                HB 1917  (Rep. Callahan) ˆ Destruction of dogs
Oppose                HB 2000 ( Rep. Vallee)  Vicious Dogs
SUPPORT           HB 1940 (Rep. Gobi) Dangerous Dogs
Oppose                HB 1941 Pet Stores ( medical condition not defined well enough )

 
Attached is a summary list of dangerous dog bills. Most we ( Mass federation of Dog Clubs ) want to oppose. Brad Hill’s bill is the same one we have been supporting for the past two legislative sessions. We need to push even harder this time to get it passed. It defines dangerous and potentially dangerous by behavior and it prevents towns from enacting BSL.


I have also enclosed copies of the text of these bills if you want to read them for yourselves..............

Please pass along to anyone you think might be able to attend. 

Writing to the committee is an alternative if you absolutely can not make it it to hearings. 

We really really need people to attend hearing as this is our only chance to impress with numbers of supporters / opposition!

Thanks
Holly
