"WEEK OF HOPE -- WEEK OF THANKS"

 

Mama Dachsund in a filthy, small cage in a USDA - licensed facility in Wisconsin     Please join Animal Fairy Charities and Animal Advocate TV in a special week honoring the progressive and compassionate work of Wisconsin lawmakers on the Smith/ Krietlow Dog Breeder Licensure Bill AB 250!

     71 of 132 Wisconsin lawmakers have already supported the bill by their co-sponsorship!

     We thank our friends at Animal Fairy Charities and Animal Advocate TV for sponsoring this special week. PLEASE join them in this effort and take action. Our thanks need to go to the co-sponsors in firm support of the Smith / Kreitlow bill to keep their support strong. It's also a good time to write to those who did not co-sponsor to ask that they support the bill.

     We ask that you please call, write, fax and email the authors and co-sponsors of AB 250 from Monday May 11 to Friday May 15. Our leaders need our support and thanks for their efforts to pass a bill that would provide licenses, inspections and standards of care for facilities selling more than 25 dogs per year.

      Click here for a list of the bill's Authors and Cosponsors This is a time of appreciation. If your state representatives are listed, please, just write a simple note to say THANK YOU for supporting AB250. Ask them to stay firm in their support.

     If your State Representative and Senator are NOT on the list of co-sponsors, please simply ask them to consider the need for legislation and the merits of AB250. Ask them to support it as it goes through the legislative process. Tell them, in your own words, why you feel it is important to license, inspect and set standards of care for Wisconsin's dog industry. . You can find your lawmakers' contact info here.

     It has taken ten years of dedicated effort to get a balanced, fair, enforceable and self-funded bill introduced in the Wisconsin State Legislature. Let's show our appreciation to our lawmakers as they proceed to make the bill a law!
