This is truly amazing. I wrote a letter to Senator Feinstein stating my 
opposition to PAWS and listing a number of reasons.  The first sentence read 
that I 
urged her to OPPOSE the passage of PAWS.  This request to oppose PAWS was 
stated several times very clearly throughout the letter.

Today I received the response below, thanking me for my position of SUPPORT 
FOR PAWS!!!!!

Of course my reply to her was not nice. Being born and raised in San 
Francisco and living in the Bay Area my entire life, I have been a support of 
the 
Senator. That just ended!

Dear Ms. Springer:


      Thank you for writing to express support for the bill S. 

1139, also known as the "Pet Animal Welfare Statute of 2005."  I 

appreciate hearing from you and welcome the opportunity to 

respond.


    You will be pleased to know that I am a cosponsor of the 

"Pet Animal Welfare Statute of 2005."  This bill would amend the 

Animal Welfare Act's definition of animal "dealers" and add a 

definition for "retail pet stores."  Like you, I care about the welfare 

of our pets and believe that this bill would help close a loophole 

that currently allows some large commercial breeders to avoid the 

animal treatment standards set forth in the Animal Welfare Act. 


      Currently, S. 1139 has been referred to the Senate 

Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry.  Although I am 

not a member of this committee, please know that as a cosponsor 

of this bill I will do what I can to support its passage.  


    Again, thank you for writing to me.  I hope that you will 

continue to keep me informed about matters of importance to you.  

If you have further questions or need assistance in the future, 

please feel free to call my Washington, D.C. staff at (202) 224-

3841.
