Committee News

A club is only as strong as its members! The support of club members is not only a requirement of increasing the strength of any club – but a sign of growth. Different people coming together to share their talents and their expertise is invaluable if one is to grow- not only as a club- but also as individuals dedicated to their breed.

2009 Animal Rights Agenda for VA!!!

Virginia Voters for Animal Welfare

Alert 11/19/08 2009 Legislation

CROSS-POST PLEASE
These are our priority bills for 2009

1.	Humane Investigator - reinstate program
2.	Sterilization Bill (FKA releasing agencies) - all dogs "released" to a new owner (i.e., adopted or purchased) must be sterile
3.	Tax credits for vets - vets receive tax credit for pro-bono work done for public pounds or "c3" organizations
4.	Privatization - the Office of the State Vet's responsibility for companion animals will be privatized We are developing talking points and other information for these four bills. Please let us know if you want such information for any of the four. We also are seeking a patron for the first three bills. Will you ask your legislator to be that patron? These are bills we may push if we can find a patron:
5.	Elimination of kennel licenses - because kennel licenses represent a very deep discoun t in the charge for licensing a dog, and because kennel dogs receive the same treatment as dogs having regularly-priced licenses in terms of their treatment by local pounds or animal control officers, that discount will be eliminated
6.	Breeding Ban - any jurisdiction which euthanizes cats or dogs that are "excess" - i.e., are healthy and otherwise adoptable but have no home - or any jurisdiction which itself has had rabies cases, or is within 50 miles of a jurisdiction which has had rabies cases in the last 12 months - will not allow breeding of dogs or cats and the subsequent sale/adoption/ giving away of such; this does NOT apply to adoptions from pounds, shelters or rescues If either of these bills appeal to you to the extent that you will work to find a patron for the bill, ideally either your delegate or your senator, and work for passage of the bill, let us know. These are bills of others which we will support pending final language:
7.	Tethering
8.	Board of Pharmacy - addressing the issue of what medicines can be kept in pounds or shelters and under what circumstances they may be kept These are topics that had considerable interest during our regional meetings this summer, but lacked sufficient traction to move forward. IT IS NOT TOO LATE IF SOMEONE WANTS TO PICK THESE UP.
9.	Abandonment, particularly of hunting dogs - could include making permanent identification mandatory; could include increasing the penalty currently in the code regarding abandonment.
10.	Ferals/TNR and other cat issues - addressing the issue of TNR not being a form of abandonment would be included along with ways to ensure that those who maintain feral colonies are free from harassment and/or legal prosecution These are topics pursued in previous years which we may try again this year:
11.	License fee cap change - would increase the ability of a jurisdiction to charge more than $10 (the current "cap") for a dog or cat license, but would not require a price increase
12.	Humane Education
13.	Dealer permits - would require (currently the law allows, but does not require) those who "deal" with companion animals by selling, bartering, trading, giving/gifting, etc., would be required to hold a valid dealer permit in each jurisdiction in which they "deal"
