Quoted from below: "There is a section that is referred to as a lemon law clause and would require a breeder to reimburse the owner 300% of purchase price and pay vet costs if a dog or cat has an inherited or congenital disease even if they were not aware of it when sold and have done every genetic test on the planet to the parents" Fw: TX SERIOUSLY NEEDS YOUR HELP SB3180 --- On Thu, 5/14/09, Terry Martin <slashv@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Date: Thursday, May 14, 2009, 12:12 PM I know you all are not in Texas, but surely you know someone who is who would do you a favor by taking a few minutes to call or fax their state senator and ask them to stand up on the senate floor and oppose this bill! They don't have to own a dog - just do you a favor. IF 12 Senators will oppose it on the floor, it will not come to a vote. Mine (Troy Fraser) is ONE. It is in committee and my senator's office assures me that it will make it through committee because of who is on it. The legislative session is over JUNE 1 so they are going to rush this bill. (The senator you call may not think this is coming to the senate floor but they have done some maneuvering behind the scenes. It should have gone from the house to the State Affairs Committee but instead it was put in the Criminal Justice Committee which is chaired by the author of the bill! Dirty politics.) We MUST stop this bill or no one in this state will be able to afford to breed another dog or cat. There is a section that is referred to as a lemon law clause and would require a breeder to reimburse the owner 300% of purchase price and pay vet costs if a dog or cat has an inherited or congenital disease even if they were not aware of it when sold and have done every genetic test on the planet to the parents. This must be killed! It only takes a minute to find out who your senator is at this link and giving you contact information. Do not e-mail - call or fax. They don't want you on the phone long - just tell them to please stand up on the floor and oppose this bill. They will know what that means. http://www.senate.state.tx.us/75r/senate/Members.htm Terry Martin http://users.htcomp.net/slashv http://americanssupportinganimalownership.com ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2008.
