[Thursday, February 15, 2007]
Kentucky House Bill 375, introduced by Representative Webb, has been referred
to the House Committee on Local Government but has not yet been set for a
hearing. It seeks to protect the rights of breeders and owners by limiting what
local governments can prohibit or regulate in regards to dogs. It is vital that
breeders and owners contact their representative to express their support of
this measure.
The American Kennel Club strongly endorses the right to own, keep and breed
dogs in a responsible and humane manner. The AKC opposes unreasonable
limitations on pet ownership and we support fair, enforceable laws that protect
the
welfare and health of purebred dogs and do not restrict the rights of breeders
and owners who take their responsibilities seriously. HB 375 will protect
responsible pet owners and breeders.
If adopted, the proposal would ban local governments from:
a.. Prohibiting or regulating the ownership, breeding, transportation, or
training of dogs used for hunting and/or field trials
b.. Prohibiting or limiting dogs in public parks
c.. Prohibiting or regulating service dogs in public parks or other locations
d.. Requiring the spaying or neutering of any animal
e.. Requiring a higher fee for licensure or ownership of an intact dog
f.. Providing for a lower fee or tax for licensure or ownership of a dog that
is spayed or neutered.
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
To contact your representative and express your support of this bill call
1-800-372-7181 and request to send a green slip to your member asking that HB
375
receive hearing in the Local Government Committee.
