Cindy, As I recall from listening to the news yesterday, this law was put into effect to stop the dyeing of Easter chicks and ducklings. But the way it was worded included any animal.

Not sure if this email is pertaining to something specifically but yesterday I heard a story on the news about a poodle owner that was fined $1000 for dyeing her dog pink to raise awareness for Breast Cancer.. She used all natural dyes. Apparently the city had an ordinance against dyeing your dog.....what made them come up with that ordinance in the first place just baffles me. Cindy Peggy <pmick12@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: almost every state in the union has some kind of laws coming (or proposed, at least) that will inhibit our rights as dog owners, never mind breeders. The language is all very similar...and the ultimate aim is, of course, to end ownership of dogs/cats/horses/whatever....... in the meantime, our politicians are immoral, corrupt, and crime continues almost unabated. Can't we all join in somehow, and elect legislators who will concentrate on crime rather than pick on animals? Apparently we can't............which is exactly why the AR groups are making such headway and having so many successes......... From Florida to Maine, California to Washington, Texas to Minnesota, pets are under attack...those of you who are parents of fairly young children must wake up and realize that by the time your kids have kids, they won't be allowed to have a dog or a cat..........and THEIR kids might only know what they are as animals they see in a book, or maybe in a zoo........... Doesn't this bother anyone on the list at all? Peggy CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This communication with its contents may contain confidential and/or legally privileged information.
