Action Alert! December 10, 2007

Posted by Andrew in : News , add a comment...please?

Urgent action alert for breeders!

Please read the email below carefully.

Thank you for taking a stand on this important issue affecting ALL pet animals, not just birds.

—– Forwarded Message —-

 

We need letters again - NOW.  The “animal rights” extremists are trying to attach a stronger and more burdensome PAWS bill to the 2007 Farm Bill, and hope to get is passed before Christmas.   The new bill would allow HSUS agents (as “third party” agents of the U.S. government) to inspect people who breed pet animals inside their homes.

In news items over the weekend we’ve learned that the Senate’s stalemate over the 2007 Farm Bill has been broken. With hundreds of amendments ‘on the table’ for discussion, it has been agreed that each side (Republicans and Democrats) will be allowed to choose 20 for inclusion in the Senate’s version of the Farm Bill, SA 3500.

Once that package comes together, we may expect it to pass the Senate quickly and move to a House-Senate conference committee where the differences between House and Senate versions will be adjusted.

Our next and best shot at killing New PAWS (old PAWS plus import restrictions and provisions for third-party inspections of ‘regulated persons’) is by preventing the PAWS amendment (SA 3723) from being included in the Senate’s Farm Bill package. Sen. Durbin (sponsor) and HSUS, will of course be working hard to see that it IS included.

We ALL need to work on this. Fortunately, what needs to be done is easy — just four simple faxes that can be all alike, except for the Senator’s name.

Your message is simple, something like this will work:

============

Dear Senator XXXXX

Please OPPOSE the inclusion of SA 3723, the so-called Pet Animal Welfare Statute, in the 2007 Farm Bill.

This unwise measure would do great damage to America’s pets: dogs, cats, and birds. It couldn’t even get a committee hearing last year; attaching it to the Farm Bill is a clear attempt to circumvent normal Senate procedures.

Sincerely,
(Your name, complete address, and - preferably- telephone number)

==============

Use your own words — form letters may be ignored! It’s good to say something about yourself that shows why you care, but don’t get bogged down and DO keep your message short.

Don’t worry about getting the exact right words. Just make it clear that you want your Senator to be AGAINST (or VOTE NO ON) SA 3723.

Be polite!

Fax to the following:

1. Your own state’s two U.S. Senators. You can find those fax numbers by going to the Cat Fanciers Association ‘alerts’ page at:

http://www.cfa.org/exhibitors/alerts.html

Click the blue ‘Complete Senate Roster contact information’, pick out your two senators, and get their fax numbers. Other blue lines on the ‘alerts’ page have the bill itself, and the bill merged into the AWA, if you want to read the details.  (I have listed Texas & Louisiana numbers below.–Kathy)
2. ALSO fax to the Farm Bill floor manager and Senate Agriculture Chairman Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) and Ranking Minority Member Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA). These are the two most powerful Senators with regard to what gets into the Farm Bill.

These fax numbers are:

Sen. Tom Harkin — 202-224-9369

Sen. Saxby Chambliss — 202-224-0103

Since action to include amendments in the Farm Bill is expected to start on Monday 12/10, PLEASE SEND THESE FOUR FAXES TODAY.

THANKS TO ALL! PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO OTHER LISTS!

Family Saved from Fire by Parrot October 22, 2007

Posted by Andrew in : Amazon, News , 1 comment so far

This is neat the family didnt hear the fire alarm but the parrot woke them up by copying it.   The fire was in Muncie, IN and most of the house burned, which is too bad but the family got out ok thanks to the parrot (an amazon), which they only had for 6 months.   It’s so awesome how God intervenes.

[Video] Judge Judy’s Statement About Birds September 20, 2007

Posted by Andrew in : News, Video , 10 comments

Here is the clip from Judge Judy that the avian community is so upset about.

This statement shows complete ignorance about birds, and should have never been said, to anyone, nevermind on public television!   She even tries to compare a bird to a dog!

Judge Judy and Birds September 19, 2007

Please see new post on the forum.

I havent seen the episode, but I am hearing alot about the recent case on Judge Judy where there was a lady who had over 100 birds in her house because she closed her pet shop. The police arrived and took her 3 children and later came for her birds.

Anyways what most of us have the biggest problem with is that Judge Judy said during the case that “birds are nasty, disgusting little creatures that do nothing but poop”

I find this outrageous (as does the rest of the avian community) and it would be extremely bad if anyone gets that opinion about birds because of what she said.
