FW: [Positivepitbull-L] FW: [RDOWS] Colorado STATE Mandatory

Hi All,

The Colorado Senate Agricultural Committee will be considering a MANDATORY,
STATE-WIDE, spay/neuter bill tomorrow morning. This bill has already peen
passed at the House level. The bill is sponsored and the lobbyists payed
for
by the Denver Dumb Friends League. (What a surprise!!!)

I STRONGLY encourage you [beg you] to forward it to any of your 'doggie'
friends and encourage them to read it and following the instructions.
Remember
to be respectful in your communications. You can catch more flies with
honey
than vinegar. Just remind them that "We own dogs and WE VOTE."

========================================================
Folks,

The Spay/Neuter bill is being heard tomorrow in the Colorado State Senate
Ag
Committee. This bill would require any shelter or rescue to spay/neuter
any animal prior to the animal going to it's prospective new home. While
on
the surface this may sound to you like a good thing the bill in my opinion
has
some unintended consequences. I'm also concerned that if a bill like this
becomes law it all too easy to change the language to add any animal going
to a
prospective new home and that would affect each of us who participate in
rescue or breeding.

Please contact each member of the Senate Ag committee. Member's names,
telephone numbers and emails are listed below. Please be very sure to be
respectful in your email and telephone communications. At this time it is
only
necessary to place the telephone call and tell them that you oppose HB
08-1185
the Spay/Neuter Bill. You can make this phone call anytime tonight and
leave
a message on their voicemail. The same is true for email. Staff members
will tabulate this information and make it available for the committee
members.
Remember tact, respectful comments make the largest impression.
