Time is of the essence in submitting opposition to the proposed anti-breeder ordinance in Marion, Indiana. The first hearing was held on December 6th and the second hearing is scheduled for January 3rd! That gives us very little time to educate the Marion City Council on the evils of this bill and shut it down. It looks like Senator Santorum isn't the only one who tries to use the calendar to his advantage when holding hearings on bad legislation. I'm quite sure the backers of the Marion Ordinance probably think they can slip this through while dog breeders/owners are busy with the holidays and won't notice what's being done behind their backs. I realize that everyone is busy with the holidays, but please try to find time to read through this ordinance and help breeders in Marion defeat this rotten city ordinance. A careful reading of this dangerous proposal will reveal many more problems than just the breeder restrictions.
