WE HAVE GOT TO GET THE WORD OUT TO EVERYONE ABOUT THESE CRACKBALLS!!!
Pennsylvania: Protect Dogs from Cruel Chaining and Tethering
The Pennsylvania General Assembly is currently considering legislation (H.B. 1911) that will limit the amount of time a dog is allowed to be kept chained or penned outside. H.B. 1911 makes it a summary offense to "wantonly or cruelly" tether or pen a dog outside for a period exceeding 16 consecutive hours in a 24-hour period. The bill also establishes requirements for keeping a dog chained or penned outdoors including providing appropriate shelter.
H.B. 1911 is currently pending in the House Committee on Judiciary. Please take action today to help pass this modest but badly-needed humane legislation.

Dear [ Legislator ],
I urge your strong support of H.B. 1911 to prevent the continuous chaining or penning of dogs outside.
(Edit Letter Below)
A dog who is kept chained or penned in one spot for hours, days, months, or even years suffers immense psychological damage. An otherwise friendly and docile dog, when kept continuously chained, becomes neurotic, unhappy, anxious, and often very aggressive. Fatal dog attacks often involve dogs who are kept continuously chained outside.
Sincerely,
[Your name]

WE'VE GOT A FIGHT ON OUR HANDS GUYS!!!
I just recently found this Quote online!!
The entire animal rights movement in the United States
reacted with unfettered glee at the [Fox Hunting] Ban in
England ...We view this act of parliament as one of the most
important actions in the history of the animal rights
movement. This will energise our efforts to stop hunting
with hounds." Wayne Pacelle, CEO, Humane Society of the US
(HSUS), London Times, December 26, 2004
I'M FIGHTING TO THE END!!
