This is really incredible. We had all better join forces - we are so fortunate
to have the GA Coalition here. It is headed up by an incredible woman, Gail
LaBerge, a Cardigan Breeder. Gail and her 'volunteer helpers' are well known
at the GA State Capitol. Gail is alerted to any and all bills before they are
even introduced. She has been instrumental in bringing logic to the Capitol.
She is known by all and they even finally gave her a free parking space in the
Capitol garage! The various all breed and specialty clubs throughout the State
support Gail & the GA Coalition by way of yearly dues, to the extent the
Coalition can hire and has hired a part time lobbyist which has been very
effective. The Coalition also has the gratis advise of an attorney or two that
are involved in the sport.
Each club sends their representative to the Coalition, I am the rep for the
Atlanta Kennel Club. The meetings are informative and well organized. Gail
also presents "educational' programs to clubs. She invited one State Rep to the
Atlanta Kennel Club Dog Show and after he was introduced to "vicious" dogs and
had his picture taken for the newspaper with a Rottie and a Staffie he withdrew
his bill on dangerous breeds.

Longview, TX, Animal Ordinance Passes!
It wasn't hard to predict but the Longview Animal Ordinance Revision passed
as presented to city council and takes effect immediately. So if residents
own more than the new pet limits allowed, they'll have to kill their pets
or
dispose of them some other way. Other onerous provisions are the "Fierce
and Dangerous Dog" Section; Animals on Private Property impounded without a
search warrant; an At Large Definition that includes animals confined to
owner's premises; authority to Impound Animals for "any" violation and
other
sections which violate due process.
RPOA will be monitoring enforcement and making inquiries; such as, what
action will be taken when a pet owner is caught with his dog riding on the
front seat of the car (not crated) in violation of the ordinance Will he
receive a citation or will the dog be impounded?
Longview will be added to the Anti-Pet Cities Tab that we'll have on our
websites soon.
Kelly Heitkamp, a member of Texas Humane Legislation Network (THLN) and
Animal Legal Defense Fund (ALDF), spoke to council and endorsed the
changes.
Heitkamp draws a distinction between herself and "more radical animal
rights
activists" and describes THLN as a "very middle-of-the-road group of people
in the state of Texas."
Our experience proves otherwise. THLN is a coalition of all the vegan
"animal rights extremists" in Texas.
ALDF supports the "Great Ape Project" and seeks personhood for animals in
the courts.
