Anti-Animal Fighting Law Before Congress--Let Them Know You Care
I got this in the email I started not to post it. Due to every other post i make like this you all do not seem to care ay but here it is any way.
Anti-Animal Fighting Law Before Congress--Let Them Know You Care Dear Animal Advocates, HR 137/S 261 (the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act of 2007) has been introduced in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate. The Act seeks to increase the penalties for cockfighting and dog fighting. Similar bills introduced in 2006 were never voted on, so they died when Congress recessed for the The Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act would properly penalize and hopefully deter people from engaging in these brutal “blood sports.” Dogs used in dog fighting often die of blood loss, shock, dehydration, exhaustion and infection. Some trainers train their dogs to fight using smaller animals, such as cats, rabbits or smaller dogs as bait. The presence of animal fighting in communities has been known to lead to other crimes, such as illegal gambling, carrying of illegal weapons and drug sales. What You Can Do Please sign our web-letter, which will be sent to your senators and representative urging them to support the Animal Fighting Prohibition Enforcement Act of 2007. You may also visit our website to read about this legislation in greater depth. We deeply thank you for your help and support! Web Letter link https://secure2.convio.net/aspca/sit...Action&id=2097

I like to read bills or at least have a detailed description before I decide whether to support or not. Some of the best intentions can be made into the most poorly-written laws.

Once they see the overwhelming support they may want to go all out for the fighting breeds as well.
