We won! HB 2130 no longer has the outrageous, and inappropriate, animal rights ammendment in it. So this responsible cat breeder can breathe easy, at least for now.
The Animal Rights Industry isn’t finished though and they will keep at it. It is so very important that everyone take a stance against the Animal Rights Industry and tell our elected officials that we will no longer vote for anyone who does not stand up against Animal Rights legislation. It is no longer acceptable to give our elected officials a free pass, they can no longer take a neutral stand, if they are not against Animal Rights then they are for it.
For now though we can take a much needed break. Thank you to everyone who helped stop these fanatics from winning. We appreciate it so very much.
