----- Original Message ----- From: JMillerArt@xxxxxxx THANK YOU to everyone who jumped on the New York A11509 opposition so quickly!! This bill will NOT be addressed at tomorrow's State Agriculture Committee meeting. Government Affairs specialists in Albany have informed the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council (PIJAC), the Farm Bureau and others who opposed the bill that, because of the strong opposition received, A11509 will be HELD for this session. This bill would dramatically change the pet dealer definition, impacting every home-based cat and dog breeder in the State. It could come back next year but we will be ready. It will not be considered this year. Once again our voices have been heard by the lawmakers ! Please forward.
