Anyone who owns and breeds animals realizes that the goal of animal rights
fanatics is to regulate animal ownership right out of existence. And now,
we see that persistent campaign in action year after year in the California
legislature.
We have a serious problem in California. Animal Rights fanatics are writing
many new laws in our state. These laws are sponsored by the HSUS and
other radical animal groups. Laws that mandate sterilization of pets,
broadscale application of microchipping, seller reporting of sales to the
government, limits on breeding, and expensive permits and fees for animals
....these are the order of the day.
Lately, we are fighting a very well-organized effort to ferret out animal
owners and attempts to criminalize them, penalize them, fine them, jail them,
and prevent them from legally possessing any animals for YEARS!
We also have a law progressing that requires any pet seller to report their
buyer’s personal information to licensing agencies. There is also a law on
the governor's desk awaiting signature that would criminalize sales of
animals in public venues. Giving away kittens at the market would net you a
misdemeanor!
We already have mandatory spay/neuter/microchip in many areas. So, once
you are targeted as an animal offender for not spaying your dog, or for daring
to sell an animal in public, or for not microchipping your cat, there are new
laws being pushed through that will cause you to forfeit your animals and
prohibit you from having any contact with animals for 5 to 10 years!
Just as an example of this Animal fanatic legislative agenda, take the
support list for CA SB 702, mandatory microchipping of animals on release
from a shelter. (See below, copied from CA legislative website)
This list reads like the "Who's Who" of animal rights terrorists:
• Social Compassion in Legislation; a front group for PETA, with at least
one of the four founders (Jane Garrison) having been a former longtime
PETA employee. PETA kills the majority of animals that enter their shelter
in Virginia. They also wish to separate people from animals completely.
Social Compassion has successfully campaigned their mandatory
sterilization agenda in many localities in California, even thought their
statewide law failed due to public outcry.
• The Animal Legal Defense Fund, or ALDF; a radical animal rights group
that boasts on its website about suing the federal government
"for failure to protect rats and mice under the Animal Welfare Act" and,
more recently, has engineered ordinances prohibiting sales of animals
in pet stores in several cities in California. The ALDF is also sponsoring
legislation in several states attempting to establish animal abuser registries,
similar to child abuser registries. Apparently, ALDF can not discern the
difference between rats and mice and human children. The ALDF website
also includes pointers on how to avoid prosecution when your violent
activities subject you to prosecution under the Animal Enterprise Terrorist
Act.
• The Cities of Long Beach and Los Angeles; notorious for their oppressive
anti-animal breeding regulations.
• The Santa Cruz SPCA; champions of their mandatory spay-neuter policy,
which was exposed as a sham during the California legislature during the
statewide MSN hearings.
• PawPAC; an animal rights group headquartered in San Francisco and
dedicated to promoting laws that place animal rights above human rights.
They campaign relentlessly to install animal rights legislators into positions
of power.
• The Humane Society of the US; "humane" in name only and does not
support local humane societies. The HSUS has been widely criticized of
late for their hypocritical support of animal rights, even as they collaborated
with animal torturer Michael Vick in an advertising campaign. In their paid
"consultations", the HSUS routinely urges shelters to kill animals as soon as
any mandatory holding period expires. They also campaign against
implementation of no-kill sheltering methods and fought against legislation
that would have implemented "no kill" sheltering methods in both California
and Texas. The HSUS fraudulently raises donations from people who believe
their money goes to help animals in shelters, as is implied in their television
ads. Instead, the HSUS uses that money to push for absurd laws like
mandatory sterilization and numeric limits on animal ownership.
The fact that our legislators take what these fanatic animal extremists
groups say at face value is truly shocking. The extremists, the fringe element
of society, are being given free reign to form our laws! Meanwhile, these
radical groups are heaping praise and recognition on the legislators who
vote "their way".
And, no doubt, the extremists are funnelling plenty of campaign
donations in return for these votes. The net effect of their legislative
projects are intended to reduce overall pet ownership and animal agriculture.
As we examine the agenda for these groups, we discover the sobering truth:
Animal Rights means No Animals Left.
