The Louisiana SPCA worked closely with Senator "Clo" Fontenot, his staff,
and the ASPCA in
drafting the Pet Evacuation Bill (La. SB 607). Please support this important
pending
legislation by attending the committee hearing. Read on to see how you can
help.
***THEY NEED YOUR VOICE NOW MORE THAN EVER***
TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 2006, BATON ROUGE STATE CAPITOL
On April 18, 2006 in Baton Rouge the Louisiana's Senate Judiciary "B"
Committee will hear
SB 607 that if passed would create a detailed disaster operation plan for
service animals
and household pets.
The tragic events of animals stuck on rooftops, animals abandoned in homes
for weeks or
people forced to leave their pets behind or not evacuating at all if they
had to leave their
pets should never happen again. The goal of SB 607, authored by Senator
"Clo" Fontenot,
is to ensure that these unacceptable scenarios are not repeated in future
disasters.
SB 607 will be heard by the Senate Judiciary "B" Committee on April 18 at
the State Capitol
in Baton Rouge. Please plan on arriving at the State Capitol by 9 a.m. An
exact time has
not yet been set, but it's expected to convene during the morning sessions.
It's important to have the committee members hear personal accounts and
understand
why we have to establish a detailed disaster plan to protect pets in the
future.
We need your support and your voice in the following ways.
Your presence at the committee hearing on April 18
Testimony from individuals who were forced to leave their pets behind or who
did not
evacuate because they refused to leave their pets
Letters, phone calls and e-mails to the Senate Judiciary "B" Committee
members

bill.
