PERMISSION TO POST AND CROSSPOST GIVEN this type of thing will not stop with just pet birds, it will extend to all pets! Brenda PLEASE take a look at the bill that was introduced in the Missouri state legislature to force bird owners to get permits to own their birds..thus allowing the govt to track everyone in that state. It is a very scary bill and please let all animal lovers and friends know about it. This mess is going to get worse before it gets better, but if we pull together across the country, we can fight it. http://www.house. <http://www.house.mo.gov/billtracking/bills081/biltxt/intro/HB1847I.htm> mo.gov/billtracking/bills081/biltxt/intro/HB1847I.htm Also, a new yahoo group has been started for all who are concerned to join so that you can stay atuned to what is going on across the country, as we fight to keep our rights. Please tell all of your friends to join. We need to start building now as a large group and force to stand up to this. Our FIDS need us right now. http://groups. <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TCOPA/> yahoo.com/group/TCOPA/ "You may never know what results come from your action.
