Cross posted with permission from my local dog list. Rosemarie Davis CA. Dear North Carolina Friends, You may not realized that Senator Elizabeth Dole is cosponsoring Sen. Rick Santorum's S1139 "Pet Animal Welfare Act of 2005" (PAWS). Susan Wolf of the North Carolina Responsible Animal Owners Alliance http://www.ncraoa.com/alerts.html is coordinating an effort to request that Mrs. Dole withdraw her support from this devastating bill to all small animal owners. Susan needs your assistance, regardless of your breed, animal species or registry. Members of clubs belonging to the AKC's North Carolina Federation of Dog Clubs who could influence that group would be especially helpful, but it's time for every Tarheel to make a stand against animal rights legislation. Susan may be contacted at cubhill@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Thank you for your cooperation and support. Please forward and cross post widely.
