Sorry for the shouting...it was forwarded that way....Stormy
PLEASE CROSSPOST THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW. WE NEED AS MANY CALLS AND FAXES
AS POSSIBLE. THANKS MUCH. DONNA HERZIG.
I RECEIVED A CALL THIS MORNING FROM WAYNE CAUDHILL, PRESIDENT OF THE KENTUCKY
HOUNDSMEN AND OUR STRONG EYES AND EARS IN FRANKFORT. HB 518 INTRODUCED
RECENTLY THROUGH THE HSUS PAM ROGERS, AND ASSIGNED TO THE HOUSE JUDICIARY
COMMITTEE, IS POTENTIALLY GOING TO MOVE. I WILL SEND WAYNE'S WRITE-UP WHEN HE
RETURNS FROM FRANKFORT BUT IN SUM THE BILL ATTEMPTS TO REGULATE HOBBY BREEDERS
THROUGH LICENSES AND CONSTRAINTS. THEY CALL IT "PET SHOPS" BUT THOSE INCLUDE
EVERYONE. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ALREADY REGULATES COMMERCIAL BREEDERS. THIS
IS
A BILL THAT WILL ELIMINATE ALL BREEDING FOR SPORT OR PERFORMANCE OR FOR
POLICE, THERAPY, OR RESCUE WORK. HSUS HAS TARGETED KENTUCKY AND WE NEED TO
LET THE
LEGISLATURE KNOW WHAT THE WOLF IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING ACTUALLY STANDS FOR.
THERE IS NO MONEY IN THE BUDGET TO ADMINISTER SUCH A DRACONIAN LAW AND OUR
LEGISLATURE HAS ACTUALLY RECOGNIZED BY STATUTE OUR PERSONAL PROPERTY AND
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS THAT WE HAVE IN BREEDING ANIMALS KRS 437.415. IN
ADDITION,
THE BILL RAISED THE PUNISHMENT FOR CRUELTY TO A CLASS D FELONY- AS STRONG AS
THE PUNISHMENT FOR SEXUALLY ABUSING A CHILD. THE HSUS HAS INCLUDED THESE
CLASS D FELONY PROVISIONS AND THEN HAS USED THEM TO CALL EVERYTHING CRUELTY AND
TO EXTEND THIS TO HORSES, CATTLE, CHICKENS, ETC.
PLEASE SEND A FAX TO THE FAX LINE 502-564-6543; CALL THE HOTLINE AT
1-800-372-7181; AND IF A KENTUCKY RESIDENT GO TO www.lrc.ky.gov AND FIND YOUR
REPRESSENTATIVE AND SENATOR AND SEND THEM AN E-MAIL AND VOICE YOUR OPPOSITION
TO THIS
BILL. IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT WE JAM THEIR LINES AND E-MAIL BOXES SO SENT THIS
ALONG TO ALL OF YOUR LISTS.
THANKS MUCH.
DONNA HERZIG
VP Louisville Kennel Club
NOTE: OUT OF STATE calls and faxes are WELCOME!
