Thanks, Linda, for the contact and information about SB113. I will try to contact Ms. Strange on Monday. I think her insight on this issue will help me write a more balaned story if she is willing to answer my questions.

Please sign this online petition to help stop the government repeal of animal rights and the democratic authority of Missouri’s citizens.

This is a list of what the new Missouri Senate Bill 113 will do to Proposition B:

Removes measures to ensure Regular Exercise

Removes measures to ensure adequate Rest between Breeding Cycles

Removes measures that guarantee access to appropriate and clean food and water

Removes limitations on the number of dogs owned for the purpose of breeding

Removes wording requiring a “Licensed Veterinarian”

Removes need to have annual hands-on check-ups by a licensed vet, instead requiring only a walk-through (again, “licensed veterinarian” has been removed)

Removes wording that each offense “shall” result in an additional charge

Gives a breeder up to 180 days to correct a violation before charges are filed or licenses revoked or suspended

May I suggest that you contact Karen Strange, president and lobbyist for the Missouri Federation of Animal Owners? She will be happy to explain that SB 113 is not a repeal of Prop B, but a necessary step toward defining the terms in the original mandate, providing funds and making provisions for legal enforcement. (Prop B is an unfunded mandate with no provisions for legal enforcement.)

That is a really good idea! Anything we can do just let us know :)

Good story. It’s nice to see someone bring an issue like this to light. If more people read about it perhaps, with a little work and cooperation, something can be done.

It seems like you’re making difficulties yourself by attempting to remedy this problem as opposed to looking at why
their is a dilemma in the very first place

I think the idea of collecting food at Christmas for dogs is really good. I will try to remember to pass that idea along to my friends at Northland Pet Pantry for next year. Thanks, Patricia!

I like the fact that someone has had the idea to report about the plight of our animal friends in these hard economic times. It is good to know that people care enogh to help families take care of thier other family members who are loved very much. I noticed where I live there were donations being taken at Christmas time for pets as well as people. We should try to get the word out to the public. Thank you Kathy for taking the inititive on this matter.
