Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hi, The petition: " Enable Poultry Keepers to Quickly Construct Biosecure Poultry Housing " Santa Cruz County poultry keepers would like to be able to quickly construct housing to protect birds from pathogens, such as bird flu, that can be spread by wild birds. Please take a moment to read about this important issue, and join me in signing the petition. It takes just 30 seconds, but can truly make a difference. Please sign here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takeaction/240772479 This site is used by reputable organizations such as Amnesty International, NARAL Pro-Choice America, Bush GreenWatch, League of Conservation Voters, and more. If you don't specify that you want to receive petition alerts, you won't. I've used the site for years without spam problems. However, when you sign a petition, they do need to know your address or the signature doesn't " count " and could be considered fraudulent. While this petition is for Santa Cruz County, please feel free to use the text to start your own petition for other counties. Click on the link " Click here for more information " (at the bottom of the petition) for details on how you can protect companion birds from bird flu. Remember, if one individual's or farmer's birds in your community are found to have bird flu, it puts others at risk, due to USDA policies on culling birds for miles around an outbreak. So it's everyone's problem, even those with indoor birds. Being proactive can make a big difference. Thanks! Cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
