Legislative Alert:
The Animals Need Nebraska Pet Lovers to Act Now
A new law has been introduced in the Nebraska Legislature that will no longer
require regular inspections of commercial kennels. Instead the inspection of
puppy mills will go back to being complaint driven only. Thousands of dogs and
puppies will suffer horribly if this is allowed to happen. All too often, puppy
mills sell their puppies only through the internet. That means no one ever sees
the hell where the breeding dogs live. No one can see the horrors that the dogs
or cats are forced to endure - tiny cages, wire floors, living in their own
***, filthy water too thick to drink, never seeing the sun, never feeling
grass to run in, never getting the most basic care. WE SIMPLY MUST ACT
NOW. The hearing for this bill is Monday. THERE IS NO TIME TO
WASTE.
LB 6 was introduced by Senator Tom Carlson. It will make the regular
inspection of puppy mills go away. Inspection prior to obtaining a license --
gone. Horrible pain and suffering -- here to stay! Please contact (e-mail or
by phone) the members of the Agriculture Committee listed below. Ask them to
kill LB 6 now - do not let it get out of committee. Because the special
session is so short, there is no time to waste! The animals need you. Be
polite, thank their staff members who answer the phone for their time, but ask
that LB 6 be killed in committee.
PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU
KNOW! IF EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US CONTACTS THE MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE, WE
CAN GET IT KILLED. Now is the time to show the legislature that the animal
lovers of Nebraska do not want Nebraska to become known as a puppy mill state
ever again - ACT RIGHT NOW! PLEASE!
From the thousands of animals
whose lives have been made better by the State inspectors --Thank you!
