____________________________________ TX-RPOA E-News >From RPOA Texas Outreach and Responsible Pet Owners Alliance "Animal welfare, not animal 'rights' and, yes, there is a difference." Permission granted to crosspost. May 4, 2010 For those who say: "That'll never affect me;" or "I don't live in the city;" or "They'll never pass that;" or the real kicker "They can't enforce that;" this is for you! Read it closely.

City animal control departments are emboldened by radical "animal rights" extremists who work not only to get their anti-pet legislative agenda passed but who volunteer to enforce it! Statewide outrage led by Judy Griggs with Rescued Pet Adoption League was responsible for the city of Dallas having a change of heart and allowing the Gideons to keep their pets.

The Gideons found out when a letter came from Dallas Animal Services revoking all of the pet licenses and ordering the couple to '...remove all dogs and cats from your residence. within fifteen days."
