Subject: HERE IT IS - more than a DOZEN GROUPS are SUING LOUISVILLE
over their stupid anti-pet law! This was filed just yesterday.
I took time out from taxes, printed this out, and READ the whole thing.
It's WAY WORTH it - HIGHLY recommended reading!
http://www.naiatrust.org/resources/Three%20Cheers%20for%20Louisville.html
I hope we win this one, please everyone pray. For those who still don't
quite 'get' what folks are so upset about, this tells it like it is, and in PLAIN
LANGUAGE. For all those threatened with these awful anti-pet laws, there are many
citations to unconstitutionality according to the United States Constitution, so if we
win, it should be applicable EVERYWHERE in the USA.

If we don't stop the Animal Radicals, one day your only source for a new pet
will be from a commercial breeder (AKA puppy mill). And, when they manage
to get rid of all home breeders, they will go after commercial breeders as
well, because their real goal is: "In fact, I don't want to see another dog or cat born."
Wayne Pacelle, CEO of The Humane Society of the United States, quoted in Bloodties:
Nature, Culture and the Hunt by Ted Kerasote, 1993, p. 266.)

Also, HERE is what's wrong with mandatory spay/neuter from a HEALTH (the
ANIMAL's) standpoint, as well as why early spay/neuter (such as Louisville &
other laws would mandate) is almost ALWAYS NOT in the best interest of the
health of the animal:

Since there is permission to share this, I am printing it to add to my puppy
packets, as the explanation of why early spaying or neutering a Hosanna
Afghan Hound voids my written 3 year orthopedic & genetic health guarantee.
