Guest guest Posted July 8, 2003 Report Share Posted July 8, 2003 If anyone knows of an AR lawyer, or a group who might be willing to take this on. Please forward this on to them. Maybe the law can be challenged. Thanks! -------------------------- For those interested, I just phoned the Alabama House of Representatives and found out that there is, in fact a bill #37 which passed both houses and the Governor has signed into law. Outright slaughter of helpless greyhounds has now become legal in Alabama. The phone number for the sponsor of that bill, Representative Buskey, is 251-208-5480 or 251-457-7928. I called but when I asked how to change it he hung up on me. Perhaps one of you will have better luck speaking with him. I will try my hand at writing letters expressing my dissatisfaction and my reluctance to visit the state until such irresponsible legislation is changed. - Rita Fazio kodiakstar2002 Tuesday, July 08, 2003 10:32 AM [blind-deaf-dogs] Kinship Circle LETTER/Stop Bill To Legalize Greyhound Slaughter Kinship Circle LETTER/Stop Bill To Legalize Greyhound SlaughterI appologize for posting an OT message to some groups. This is a serious issue, and needs help from everyone to stop this atrocity from happening. We ask the international community to help us. Anyone, anywhere who cares about any animal, needs to make themselves heard on this issue! Greyhounds reclassified as " livestock! " Please, please, please, everyone needs to help on this one immediately! This is not good! Not just for the greyhound, but for all animals! Think of the consequences of a companion animal being classified as " Livestock! " Don't think that only Alabama residents should write. The entire world of animal lovers need to weigh in on this immediately. Snail mail, email, phone, and fax! Please, stop these people from doing this, for the poor, already suffering Greyhound, and for all the animals! Think of the consequences this law, if passed, will have on all animals!
