Subject: Fw: YES H3841 Animal Protection
I am crossposting per Senator Callahan's aide request regarding a new bill
they
are drafting...regarding petstores AND breeders...please crosspost far and
wide
to anyone involved with animals in the State of Massachusetts. They are
looking
for written testimony as to why this bill should be passed. PLEASE read
these
documents and DO IT NOW... they are collecting all this info NOW. So please
take
time to draft a nice, detailed, professional letter!
If you know of anyone who has purchased a sick pet store pet THIS IS THE
TIME
YOU NEED THEM TO SPEAK UP... we ALL know many of these people!!!
Please read all attachments carefully. They are looking for those of us with
backgrounds in animal care/rescue to give WRITTEN testimony as to WHY we
need
such a bill.
The bill seeks to create a Division of Domestic Animal Protection,
Investigation, and Enforcement. There will be rules and regulations
developed
relative to the sale of domestic animals by pet shops, kennels, and
breeders.
The bill also calls for procedures to be developed by the Division to issue
a
license or permit to sell domestic animals. The Division is also charged
with
capturing data on the sale activities of domestic animals including, but not
limited to; breed, sales price, and age and reporting such information to
the
Department of Revenue and the public annually.
This legislation has two key exemptions:
· it does not apply to any non-profit organization or association
whose
mission is to care and protect abandoned, abused, or neglected domestic
animals
· any person who has one domestic animal litter per year is exempt
from
complying with the Division rules and regulations
