    Dog Protection Act (MA voters!)

    I know there are a few other people from MA here - at Petco yesterday a woman was gathering signatures for a new Dog Protection Act being pushed by the MSPCA and Angell Animal Hospital - [linkhttp://www.mspca.org/site/pp.asp?c=gtIUK4OSG&b=898641]http://www.mspca.org/site/pp.asp?c=gtIUK4OSG&b=898641[/link] This act would phase out dog racing, crack down on a growing dog fighting problem (fighting and breeding for fights), and introduce greater protection for service dogs and K9s. (I was surprised to learn that the max punishment for killing a K9 officer is a $500 fine!)

    They should make the fine for killing a K9 officer even higher! I mean, those dogs risking their lives to help us!

    But anyways, I agree with that! I'm not from MA, I'm from MI, but I would have signed.

    My State Rep already knows my position on the bill:-))
    Thanks for bringing it up, though.  Maybe it will prompt more calls to legislators.
