FARM BILL
Please call and email your two senators to ask for their
support and a YES vote on the provision in the Farm Bill which will protect
pets from Class B Dealers. Class B Dealers steal pets & obtain
them from the "Free to Good Home" newspaper ads. Then, they sell
the pets to dog fighting rings for use as bait animals. They also
sell the pets to research labs for experimentation.
This provision is in danger of being omitted from the Farm
Bill. Please, email & call today!
