If
the proposal you're concerned about affects all pets, contact
all the national pet groups you can find. Don't limit yourself
to the pets you own. We've listed several of the best-known groups
below, but we don't know about all of them. Tell us about any
organizations that might help and we'll list them on our links
page.
Contact
the National
Animal Interest Alliance and see if they know about your problem.
Go through their entire site and study! Go to the NAIA
Trust site and submit your information to their database (Click
on Let Us Know in the menu)
Email
AKC's Canine Legislation
department at doglaw@akc.org
and let them know what's happening. They do more for state fights
than local ones and they work through member clubs, not individuals,
but keep them informed. They have lots of useful information about
fighting laws and about certain kinds of laws. Visit their Canine
Legislation website and order the legislative materials. They're
free and some of them are excellent!
The
Cat
Fanciers Association has a very effective legislative affairs
department and their website is full of good information. Notify
them of any proposed laws affecting cat ownership by writing legislation@cfa.org
National
organizations exist for nearly every pet you can imagine. Do a
Google search and contact them all. Some, probably most, are not
large enough to be able to help you much, but they should be notified
as soon as possible. You never know where help might come from.
