My sister sent this and I thought it was a joke until I went to the  
link...it's an honest to God bill that would give a tax break for pet  
owners....
 
 
 



 

 


During these difficult economic times, more and  more
people find that the financial cost of giving pets the
care they  deserve becomes a burden, or worse,
unbearable.

Urge Georgia's  representatives to support the
tax deduction for pet care expenses  >>

The Humanity  and Pets Partnered Through the Years
(HAPPY) Act (H.R. 3501) was just  introduced to the U.S.
House of Representatives and referred to the  House
Committee on Ways and Means. 

The Act would amend the  Internal Revenue Code to allow
an individual to deduct up to $3,500 for  "qualified pet
care expenses" - including veterinary care - for  a
legally owned, domesticated, live animal. 

Even a small tax  deduction for responsible pet owners
will go a long way to meet the needs  of companion
animals, ease the tax burden of those who own a pet  (63
percent of all households) and may even encourage more
people to  provide loving homes to the countless animals
filling America's  shelters.

Urge your representatives to co-sponsor the HAPPY Act  >>

As you, your  family members or your neighbors may be
trimming budgets to make ends  meet, innocent animals
should not have to go without adequate care! On  behalf
of all the companion animals who do not have a voice --
thank  you for taking action.

Truly,
