Keeping an Eye on Dog Laws?
Are you keeping an eye on dog laws?
From the latest digest to hit my inbox are these points from a proposed ordninance: * Define anyone who sells or gives away an animal as an "animal dealer" and require purchase of both an animal dealer license and a kennel license. * Require persons with more than 5 altered animals to purchase a kennel license. * Further require purchase of a kennel license by residents with less than 5 animals if they breed, show, or compete in field or obedience trials. * Establish a $5 "show dog" fee for every dog participating in conformation that can not show proof of license in another jurisdiction. The level of disinterest in fighting such proposals is disheartening. I figure that it is going to get a lot worse before people start to wake up. -- Diane Blackman There is no moral victory in proclaiming to abhor violence while preaching with violent words. http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplayshops.com/ |

California, though, is capable of just about any kind of mischievous, nonsense. Which is pretty much why I don't live there anymore. Besides, someone has to pay for the health care, education, etc., of all those illegal immigrants... That one was from Louiseville, Kentucky. For Missouri communities with breed specific proposals or study session on possible breed banning are as follows: Jennings, Springfield, Bellfontaine and Oak Grove. -- Diane Blackman There is no moral victory in proclaiming to abhor violence while preaching with violent words. http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplayshops.com/ |

And there is also the federal PAWS legislation that Santorum is pushing. AKC is supporting it but AFAICS most breed clubs are fighting it tooth and nail. ~~Judy |

Latest word on the AMSC list is that Santorum has completed a rewrite, was given to the Dept. of Ag last week and will be made public in a few days. And the Vermont no-crop bill has passed their Senate and is headed for the House. ~~Judy |

Sort-of tying in to the original theme, some people who haven't been paying attention to what's been going on in Washington the past few years are all, like, "Hey, that's not *fair*!" over Santorum having closed anti-PAWS testimony out of the PAWS Senate hearing. I doubt that particular piece of miscreant behavior will have much of an impact on the election, though, but I think he's pretty much shot himself in the foot on a bunch of other things. -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community. |

Latest word on the AMSC list is that Santorum has completed a rewrite, was given to the Dept. of Ag last week and will be made public in a few days. And the Vermont no-crop bill has passed their Senate and is headed for the House. The Yahoo group BSL-UPDTES is very up to date. Today's mail re BSL is this Missouri bill HB1686 Requires all pit bull owners to obtain a state permit and imposes penalties for failure to leash and muzzle a pit bull. Sponsor: Chappelle-Nadal, Maria (72) Proposed Effective Date: 08/28/2006 CoSponsor: McGhee, Mike (122) ..........etal. From Virginia On February 7, 2006 the House of Delegates passed HB339 by a vote of 71- 28-1. This bill requires that every veterinarian in Virginia provide county and city treasurers with client-owner names, addresses, dog age, sex, color, primary breed, secondary breed and the breeding status of each and every canine given a rabies vaccination. Treasurers are then required to bill dog owners for license fees, based on the data supplied by those veterinarians. Information in this dog owner database is to be shared with other counties and is subject to general release and distribution under the Freedom of Information Act. Any commercial entity may acquire information on you and your dogs, their number, age, breed, whether they are intact or sterilize, et al. Don't like it, but doesn't seem a radical departure from current practice around here. Which is EXACTLY how the slippery slope works. Get people comfortable with one step, go on to the next. ALL laws are slippery slopes which is why I'm in the fewer laws the better crowd. But some laws are useful, helpful etc. Just got to keep on top of them. -- Diane Blackman There is no moral victory in proclaiming to abhor violence while preaching with violent words. http://dog-play.com/ http://dogplayshops.com/ |
