From Sarah Speed, Humane Society of the United States:
HB 2525 Is in serious jeopardy in the PA House Agriculture Committee.
The Committee members are being bombarded with calls, e-mails, letters, and visits from breeders all over the state.
The breeders are howling so loudly that the dogs are being drowned out! Breeders have filled the room at every hearing and even our supporters on the committee are balking under the pressure and claiming that HB 2525 is unnecessary.
On Tuesday, June 24, the House Judiciary Committee will be voting whether to outlaw breeders from performing their own surgical births, debarking, and tail docking in HB 2532 in room Irvis G-50 at 10 a.m. On that same day in the same room, the House Agriculture Committee may be having a vote on HB 2525.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
We need warm bodies in those seats to come early and give the animals a voice!
We also need calls to go into the House Agriculture Committee members to let them know that the animals cannot be forgotten for the breeders' greed.
