Don't see your state? Start a Yahoo Group for your state right now. It's easy, it's free, and it's something that you can do to make a difference today. We recommend that groups include all pet legislation, rather than focusing specifically on one species. We fight best when we fight united. Restricting a list's membership limits the educational function of the list severely. Remember that many of the people we need to reach are people who are misinformed by the ARs.
