KILL the BILL

If you’re like me, you get cringe and squirm just thinking about having a snake in your home.  I have friends who adore the (not so) slimy creatures.  They are my friends and have the same feelings for their reptiles that I have for dogs and cats so I must fully support their efforts not to be irrationally legislated out of their pets or have their property rights infringed upon.  Senate Bill 307 is an effort to just that; to chip away at their RIGHTS.

WRITE YOUR SENATORS, hand write, mail it in!  Deadline for receipt I January 20, 2010, and that means you need to get those letters in NOW to allow for time in the USPS system.

Have you asked your friends to also write letters?  Do you KNOW if they did?  Pin them down.  If anyone says they would but don’t have time or fesses up that they haven’t gotten it done, OFFER to do it for them.  It is NOT forgery, fraud, misrepresentation, or any of those nasty things if you simply get PERMISSION.

The way the government’s going, kids won’t even be able to pick up garter snakes soon and even I enjoyed hat pleasure as a child!

You can snag a sample letter, your senators’ addresses, and more information here.  And below is an email I received that contains some additional suggestions for you to help in KILLING this bill that would impinge on pet welfare and their owners’ rights.

rest of the Reptile Nation is doing... and more! It is your 
responsibility to get a meeting with your Senator and make your case. 
You represent the industry in your state. By making direct contact with 
your Senators you give them a reason to oppose S373. Jobs and the 
Economy are important. Make your case. The time is NOW!!!
