  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!
Karen
