From another list: >>>>Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2008 10:07 AM Subject: HB101 is NOT DEAD Hi All, I received an alert that HB101, the bill that allows for Breed Specific Legislation despite Florida's constitutional ban on BSL, will be attached to one of two other animal related bills. HB1227 prohibits sexual activities with animals, sponsored by Bill Heller, a Democrat from Pinellas County. SB744 is the identical Senate Companion Bill and is sponsored by Nan Rich, a Democrat from Broward/Miami-Dade. As soon as I have the contact info, I will post it on the first page of my rescue's website www.phoenixanimalrescue.org so you can write the legislators and their assistants to STOP this attachment. If HB101 is attached, and the bill it is attached to passes, HB101 passes. Not too many people will want to stop passage of a bill that prohibits sexual activities with animals, so it is VERY LIKELY that HB101 will just sneak through. This will set a DANGEROUS PRECEDENT for other municipalities in FL to override the State's ban on BSL. Please take the time to forward this information to everyone you can think of. This requires IMMEDIATE action to STOP THE ATTACHMENT OF HB101 to any other bill. Thank you for all you do for animals, "You may never know what results come from your action. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
