Tuesday was one of a couple of lobby days we have in the Missouri state legislature that are specifically for animals. Hector, one of the dogs from Bad Newz Kennels that is now owned by expert disc thrower Roo Yori, was in attendence to raise awareness for a new state dog-fighting bill.
I haven't read the new dog fighting bill -- I am hearing mixed reviews of it however. More to come once I get a chance to read it. The picture to the left is of my state Senator, Jolie Justus, and Hector hanging at the State capital. The picture was blatantly stolen from her blog on the topic.
In Montana, Robyn Driscoll's bill, HB 191, that would ban 'pit bulls' throughout the entire state of Montanais going to a hearing TODAY, January 22, at 3:00 pm in Helena. It is my understanding that there isn't much support for the ordinance, but if you are anywhere near Helena, get up there for the hearing today. This bill is not only not necessary, but would financially cripple animal control agencies across the state -- many of which are already facing budget cuts.
