Subject: Needed: Clubs' opposition to Chicago MSN
FORWARDING PERMITTED AND ENCOURAGED
LET'S GET THE WORD OUT!!!
We are currently putting together a list of all training and kennel clubs
and rescue groups which are in formal opposition to the proposed Chicago
Mandatory Spay/Neuter ordinance, along with the key contact person for each
club.
These groups do not have to be Chicago based, but can be any club or
organization in the United States, or even in the world, for that matter.
Actually, having national and even international attention placed on the
Chicago situation would give our Chicago aldermen/women even more cause for
concern about the negative effects that Mandatory Spay/Neuter legislation,
if enacted into law, might have on Chicago's "pet friendly" tourism image.
At this time, we do not need formal letters of opposition, just the names of
such groups/clubs opposed, and a contact person and their email whom we
could contact should we need such a letter in the future.
Please consider asking your clubs if they'd be willing to take a stand on
this issue, and agree to oppose the Chicago Mandatory Spay/Neuter ordinance,
in its current version, and any possible re-writings of this ordinance in
which Mandatory Spay/Neuter would be mentioned or implied in some form.
Usually, it is the Board of Directors of a club that have this authority,
and the Legislative Liaison (if appointed) or an Officer who would act as
the contact.
