Pending Laws to Oppose
OPPOSE HB169 and HB225!!!!
HB 169 - Representative Joni L. Jenkins (12/18/09)
AN ACT relating to crimes and punishment.
Amend KRS 525.125, relating to cruelty to animals in the first degree, to provide that causing any animal, not just a four-legged animal, to fight is a Class D felony; amend KRS 525.130, relating to cruelty to animals in the second degree, to provide that a person is guilty of cruelty to animals in the second degree if he is a spectator at any animal fight, not just a four-legged animal fight, possesses an animal for fighting, possesses a device used for animal fighting, or administers a drug to an animal for the purpose of fighting.
This bill is most likely the product of the rich large lobby group known as the Humane Society of the U.S. Their short term goal is to make criminals of breeders of game chickens, and others involved in animal activity and animal business. During a recent visit to Frankfort, Kentucky, Wayne Pacelle, the C.E.O. of HSUS forecast this attack. Here are some Red Flags that he sent up for Kentuckians to be concerned with!
“We are by no means an anti- horseracing organization, but we have concerns about how the business is being operated.”
Pacelle reaffirmed the HSUS is not against animal agriculture by any means.
He praises the work of one of his main men, John Goodwin. Goodwin has said, “My goal is to abolish all animal agriculture.”
Pacelle also says, “…..but everything is related to the absence of national regulatory authority.”

WHAT ARE THE LONG TERM GOALS OF THE HSUS? All Kentuckians need let their representatives know: We do not want the HSUS to write our laws!
