I need to put together testimony against this bill for next week. I know that some of you do not support debarking, but I've found it to be much more humane than bark collars and certainly is more humane than euthanizing a problem barker. I'd appreciate any thoughts or arguments any of you might have that would help us to oppose this bill.
