PROTECT and ENFORCE OUR FEDERAL ANIMAL LAWS!
PROTECT and ENFORCE OUR FEDERAL ANIMAL LAWS!
As one of your constituents, I respectfully request that you add your name
to the Boxer-Vitter letter to the Senate Agriculture Appropriations
Subcommittee today (if you have not already done so). That letter seeks
badly needed funds to improve critical elements of animal welfare laws in
Fiscal Year 2012.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is looking to Congress to ensure
that it has the resources it needs to enforce the Animal Welfare Act, the
Horse Protection Act and the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act. We recognize
the challenges facing Congress in addressing federal spending. At the same
time, this country relies on these vital animal protection laws that focus
on horse protection, our slaughterhouses, medical laboratories and
commercial breeding facilities (puppy mills).
The reach of the USDA's enforcement and its impact cannot be
underestimated. With good enforcement, we can avoid food safety crises
from sick animals and injuries to workers. We can help prevent the illegal
trafficking in drugs and weapons that often accompanies the cruelty of dog
fighting and cockfighting.
Ã?
Your signature on the Boxer-Vitter letter--or your inclusion of these
funding items among your own individual requests--would mean a great deal
to me. Thank you in advance for your consideration of my views.
Sincerely,
AnimalActionUSA
