Earlier this week, we asked you to CALL your state Representative urging them to OPPOSE Senate Bill 876, a bill and its companion, House Bill 2238, that if passed will give Texas one of the most excessive breeder licensing schemes in the country. We need to keep up that heat by NOW emailing your state Representative.
As previously reported, SB 876 expands the dog breeder licensing, which will ensnare sporting dog enthusiasts across the state instead of working to reduce animal abuse like the animal-rights extremists are trying to make everyone believe. The Sportsmen’s Alliance takes this issue seriously and Texas already has laws on the books regarding the abuse of animals.
Please use our Take Action button to remind your Representative that law-abiding sporting dog breeders need just as much protection as the dogs they raise and the law-abiding deserve their support by OPPOSING HB 2238 and SB 876.
Animal “welfare” organizations have focused efforts to limit, restrict or downright prohibit the use of sporting dogs in hunting activities. This includes the overregulation of hobby breeders, many of whom are sporting dog enthusiasts who strive to improve bloodlines through selective breeding programs. While these individuals are not “commercial” breeders by regulation or law, many animal “welfare” organizations seek to regulate sporting dog hobby breeders nonetheless, attempting to do so through whatever means necessary.
Texans must remain dedicated to their hunting heritage, which includes the sporting dogs that are with us every step of the way.
Don’t forget to share this critical alert with your family, friends, and fellow sportsmen asking them to also email their state Representative urging them to OPPOSE SB 876 and HB 2238.
