shared by Peggy From: Responsible Pet Owners Alliance rpoa@xxxxxxxxx<mailto:rpoa@xxxxxxxxx> It takes just a second to send an email to the San Antonio Convention and Tourist Bureau, so please voice your opposition to the revisions to San Antonio's pet ordinances. Like the recent battle in California, this mess is rearing its ugly head in Texas, and if the dog fancy doesn't pull its act together to oppose this kind of thing, we are all doomed to live in a world run by animal rights fanatics. Please go to the RPOA website to learn more about the situation!! A video on YouTube opposing the San Antonio, TX, Chapter 5 Animal Ordinance Revision is making the rounds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mywRROyFwjU<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mywRROyFwjU>, or http://tinyurl.com/35w3bx<http://tinyurl.com/35w3bx> Responsible Pet Owners Alliance needs the help of everyone who has ever visited or plans to visit San Antonio, Texas, as a tourist, sports fan, participant in dog shows (conformation, breed or performance events), participant in cat shows or any other event held in San Antonio. Please contact the San Antonio Convention and Tourist Bureau (below) and tell them if the proposed revisions to San Antonio's Chapter 5 Animal Ordinance pass, you will no longer visit San Antonio because you travel with your animals and won't consider the city to be "pet friendly" anymore. You could say: 1) I will no longer participate in nor attend any animal events in the city, such as the River City Cluster of Dog Shows, Alamo City Cluster of Dog Shows and the Alamo City Cat Club Show or will refrain from spending any money within the city limits to do so. 2) I will not vacation in San Antonio with my pets. 3) I do not wish to spend money in any city that discourages pet ownership and has no understanding of the human/animal bond. 4) I will consider San Antonio a hostile environment, angry at anyone who owns or breeds animals. 5) San Antonio will join the ranks of Los Angeles, CA; Denver, CO, and other anti-pet cities in the US.
