-----Original Message----- The ASPCA is sending out weekly bulletins urging people to write to Pennsylvania's Dog Law Advisory Board and support the new, stricter regulations to crack down on puppy mills. Obviously ASPCA who pushed Rendell for all the changes, has no concern for any collateral damage these regulations will cause breeders. Using emotional leverage of fighting puppy mills brings kind hearted souls into the fight in droves. When ASPCA posted their notice last summer on NC's so called hog/dog bill (the one that forgot to use the word "hog" anywhere) it generated at least 500 supporting emails to NC General Assembly legislators. *PLEASE* people, if you have not taken time to write do so now before the public hearing portion is over. It was extended until March 16th. The Bureau is only accepting letters through the U.S. Postal Service. Send the letter to: Bureau of Dog Law Enforcement Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture Attn: Ms. Mary Bender 2301 North Cameron Street Harrisburg, PA 17110-9408 Go to: http://home.paonline.com/pfdc/ for talking points and to find your state representatives so you can copy them (you can reach them faster than snail mail by faxing or emailing). Also go to SAOVA website: http://saova.org/news.html for other suggestions on who to contact - such as the Independent Regulatory Review Commission (IRRC).
