| Laws for Animals being implemented in 2007 I just recieved this newsletter from the (HSUS) President of the Humane Society. This newsletter is imformative but the best news is people are starting to fight for better laws to protect animals. Yeahhh... they are going to introduce legislation in 2007 to protect animals from puppy mill internet sales and foreign countries. Keep reading, stay informed and write letters! They do work! and they work better in large numbers! https://community.hsus.org/humane/no...ter_id=6407991

| It is a start and with educating the public we can make tougher laws to protect those that cannot protect themselves!!

| Illinois prevents use of dogs as weapons The entire animal-loving community is extremely grateful to Rep. Jerry Mitchell and Sen. William Haine for sponsoring a very important public and animal safety bill that will prevent dogs from being used as weapons. The innovative law took effect January 1, 2007. Gang members, who are often legally prohibited from owning armed weapons, frequently use dogs as weapons to intimidate community members. This novel law was developed as a solution to protect the public from dangerous dogs and ensures that dogs aren't unnecessarily put down. It takes the dog's best interest to heart. Public Act 94-0818 will make it a misdemeanor for a person convicted of a felony to own, possess, have custody of, or reside with an un-neutered dog older than 12 weeks of age, or any dog deemed "vicious" under the Illinois Animal Control Act. "Dogs are wonderful companions and great protectors in many situations," stated State Representative Jerry Mitchell. "They were never meant to be used as a weapon to protect or defend illegal activities." Here is the link: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/takea...ltl=1169263449 One more small step towards protecting animals.....slow but sure. Alot of legislation on animal cruelty being put out there this year!
