Part of it was written if you had 5 dogs that would make you a kennel even if you never bred any of the dogs. No more pets, this is the eventual plan of animal rights activists and if you are not aware then your rights are being taken away and apathy reigns.

I think you are "parroting" again.

Where is the evidence of the "underhanded way" these bills are being "bulldozed through state legislatures"....or the IN bill was "sandwiched in with stiffer penalties for rapists and convicted felons"?

Show me legislative reports, not propaganda from the breeding industry.

This is the bill in its amended form scroll down to see what else is involved in this bill. It is sandwiched in with sex offenders and parolee violators and all kinds of legislation. I don't write propaganda nor do I promote it. I do know what is happening in my state and a few others.

It looks to me that the bill (the bold type) only refers to the animal provisions...and is incorporated into existing state code (not bold) that has other references.

SO its false to suggest the bill was "sandwiched in" with sex offenders and parolee violators, other than being in the same section of state code. Thats hardly the same as suggesting the bill was considered as part of some "underhanded" plan to have it considered with bills on sex offenders.
