RE: [pyrnet] Re:Puppy Protection Act/USA

["Sariena" <rene1@sprint.ca>]

Hi, I thought you all might be interested in this.

This plea has been sent to many of the animal lists around. This person needs to be re educated on the horrible plight of puppy mill dogs!

I read the bill and of course it doesn't effect me, although Ontario does have some good laws in effect. (could be better!) But I see that this as a good bill for the US.

It sure might help allot of dogs out there. Actually it should be even more strict. But it's a start. 

I don't think decent, "responsible" breeders of dogs, should have anything objections at all to this bill.

What do you think?

FYI, here is what the bill does. You can read it for yourself at

or FAX Mr. Harkin and Mr. Byrd and all your congress men and women. as

soon as you get this. Also pass this along, it is slated for a vote

> ACTION NEEDED IMMEDIATELY !!!!!!!!!!!!

  Immediate action is REQUIRED NOW!
  Harkin's chief ag staff person, who is drafting his version of the farm bill, is alleged to be a dues paying, card-carrying member of PeTA. Another Ag staffer in Harkin's office defended the provisions of the PPA (Puppy Protection Act) and the advocacy of the HSUS on its behalf. We need as many Iowa people as possible to notify Sen. Harkin that they DO NOT want the PPA and the Farm bill amended to the Senate Appropriations Bill.

Enforce the laws presently on the books and do not pass more laws, which will further restrict agricultural enterprises.
