Report Inappropriate Comments

Although I can commend you on your proactive approach to change laws regarding animals, but I think you jumped the gun (I read your organization was the supporter to give it to Serpa). I read the bill that was submitted and unfortunately you missed the mark completely. In the bill, you only took out the hunting dog exemption, but did not take into consideration other sections of the law that needed modifying to make sense. So now that Serpa's bill is poorly done, we wait. It's frustrating to hear that a bill was hastily put on the calendar and had one paragraph taken out, when a lot of that Statute needed to be addressed.

I have a question, did anyone speak with people who work in this field? Ask them what do they deal with? How can the bill be made better? I do hope that in the future, whoever is supporting the bill is asking the correct people. You don't go to a mechanic when your roof is leaking...

It's hard enough to get Legislators to understand animal issues, I don't think it's good to have animal advocates making it harder either.
