Help to pass dog devocalization bill Mass H 344
Posted by lisa on Jul 8, 2009
A request from Shirley Moore of Save A Dog rescue:
We’re in the 11th hour: Now’s the time to protect dogs and cats from having their vocal cords cut for profit and convenience. In a few weeks, it could be too late.
An Act Prohibiting Devocalization, H.344, will be heard July 14 and could be decided by the 31st. If we don’t generate significant phone calls from constituents to legislators on the Judiciary Committee–breeders and vets who oppose the bill are–this humane legislation will be killed, leaving dogs and cats unprotected.
This is an unfunded, all-volunteer, grassroots effort. It is up to each and
every one of us to get the word out. Please don’t let the animals down.
We’re all they have.Devocalization is Brutalization.
Use Your Voice to Pass House Bill 344!
