[ SHOWGSD-L ] OHIO - HB 446 --- perhaps the worst ever......

The Ohio State Senate State and Local Government and
Veterans Affairs Committee appears poised to amend and vote upon
House Bill 446 this coming Tuesday, December 16, 2008. It is urgent
for dog owners to act immediately to stop this measure that targets
all dog owners, and avocational breeders in par

I hope all you folks in the Buckeye state have done your part to
defeat this bill.  If you haven't, then shame on you, because if it
passes, all the other states will be looking to inflict the same
onerous requirements and standards on the rest of us.........

  This bill really has some of the most
onerous and dangerous things in it that I've ever seen...esp.
with regard to seizure of dogs....and this one:

· Kennels must be inspected, and kennel licenses revoked
if the inspecting agency alleges that the owner has
committed an act of animal cruelty or neglect. This allegation does
not have to be proven, and many animal cruelty police officers
reportedly have close ties to radical animal rights groups, such as
the Humane Society of the United States and People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals. Kennel owners will be denied their day in
court, and this measure is an unconstitutional presumption of guilt
based on the opinion of the animal control or humane officer.


Did you notice that proof is not necessary?

This is not only an unconstitutional bill, it's terrifying..............
