Letter from My Representative
« Thread Started on Jan 24, 2006, 2:28pm »

Here's a letter I recieved from my legislator in regard to H.R. 2669, the Pet Animal Welfare Statute of 2005 (PAWS). Although my representative knows my thoughts I will continue to monitor this legislation and contact him again before it's voted on. - Ty

Thank you for contacting me regarding H.R. 2669, the Pet Animal Welfare Statute of 2005 (PAWS) as introduced by Representative Jim Gerlach of Pennsylvania. I appreciate learning of your concerns and having the opportunity to respond.

As you may know, the PAWS Act would revise the definition of animal dealer to include a person who sells more than 25 dogs or cats or over six litters. This legislation was referred to the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Livestock and Horticulture on June 7, 2005. I believe animals should be treated in a kind and humane manner. I understand that large scale breeding in inhumane conditions can be cruel to animals and unsanitary for the general public. Rest assured, I share your concerns and will follow this legislation as it makes its way through the committee process.

Again, thank you for sharing your concerns. Please feel free to contact me again if I can be of further assistance. Also, you may like to know that you can contact me via email at gingrey.ga@mail.house.gov or my website www.house.gov/gingrey.
