Sound far fetched? Everyone knows it is the goal of PETA and HSUS to end the ownership of pets. This proposed law will make Hawaii the first state they could claim. SB2504 Would Outlaw Sale of Any Unsterilized Dog A bill has been introduced in Hawaii that would prohibit selling or giving away an unsterilized cat or dog. Importation of dogs to the Hawaiian Islands is limited and strictly regulated. If all cats and dogs sold or given away must be sterilized, it calls into question where citizens of Hawaii will obtain future generations of pets The definition of “pet seller” includes any person who sells pets to the public- It would be unlawful for a “pet seller” to sell or give away an unsterilized cat or dog. This would include any person who sells, gives away, or exchanges an unsterilized dog under any circumstances. The definition of “pet seller” excludes humane societies, animal control, rescue and care organizations, thereby exempting such organizations from the provisions of the bill. So what we will first have it the pounds and rescues completely in charge of the pet market. Then of course they will be the only ones allowed to have breeding stock. What do you think of this kind of proposal? Would you support it or fight against it? Should intact animals ever be considered contraband? Do you currently donate to any organization that fights these kind of laws? If not, what will it take for you to become proactive? Read the bill here http://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/session2012/bills/SB2504_.HTM Read how each animal sale will be handled as if one was dealing in nuclear materials. As we all know if this kind of law passes the animal rights folks will propose it in the other 49 states. Rayven I completely understand the coffee thing.
