I think many on this list will enjoy the second to last paragraph!!! !!
>
> The vote was then taken and Rep Sacia stopped to qualify his no vote by bringing up the issue of HSUS banning horse slaughter. He asked Jordan how he and his group could call themselves humane when they made American horses be shipped overseas to be slaughtered using horrendous methods. He went on to describe graphic details of foreign horse slaughter practices. He ended by saying that HSUS is a sham and he will not support any bill that they back.
>
> The final vote was 8 NO and 4 Yes. They Yes votes were: Dugan, Reitz, Zalewski and Ford.

------------ --------- --------- --------
Illinois Dog Owners wish to thank everyone who worked together in defeat of this SB 2580, the Tethering Bill. Thanks especially to everyone who phoned or faxed the Illinois House Ag Committee members to tell them of your opposition. My understanding is that they received a number of messages on the day before their vote - and apparently most of it was from us.
If you read the description of the Committee Hearing, you will find that many of the issues discussed by the Representatives were those that Illinois dog owners emphasized on lists and in communications to fellow club members. These issues include redundancy, since the Humane Care for Animals Act (HCAA) law in Illinois already requires dog owners to provide their dogs with adequate food, shelter, water, and vet care, and prohibits cruel treatment or abandonment; enforcement issues; excessive penalties far in excess of the potential trivial level of violations (tether a dog for 16 minutes at night on two occasions and you would have just committed a Class 4 Felony!); juvenile offender issues (mandated psychological "evaluation" and "treatment") ; and similar for those owning multiple animals under the Hoarder definition already in the HCAA. And all of this for an "offense" which most likely would not harm or even cause discomfort to a dog, or create a public nuisance, or endanger public safety.
Again, Illinois dog owners appreciate your help.
Please post this message on any lists or forward to clubs where there are Illinois members.
