Stop Gov. Vilsack from Legalizing "Dog Farming"
The Iowa House and Senate have already approved a Bill 2797 with a "hidden provision" allowing dogs to be classified as "farm products". Gov. Vilsack is about to sign this bill into law. If dogs become classified as "livestock", they would be in the same category as pigs, chickens and cows --- and not protected by cruelty and abuse laws. This could allow for eating dog meat, using dog fur on clothing and other ornaments. This dangerous change in the law is designed to give dog breeders a tax break! Sign our petition to stop this assault on animal rights.
You can view this bill at: http://coolice.legis.state.ia.us/Cool-ICE/default.asp?Category=billinfo&Service=Billbook&menu=false&hbill=HF2797.
Particularly note page 43, lines 25-35 and page 44, lines 21-28 which would classify dogs as "farm products" and their breeding as "agricultural production".
