an interesting yet concerning email i got from a friend this morning!
what do you think?




There are two very harmful bills currently sailing through the Oregon legislature relatively unopposed. Your voices in opposition are urgently needed, and I have set up a way for anyone to help quickly and easily.

HB 3437 would prohibit future private ownership of all exotics, and may ban the breeding of hybrids as well.

SB 804 would hand the Oregon Fish and Wildlife Commission the same authority California Fish and Game has to regulate and ban all “wildlife,” as well as the authority to determine what constitutes wildlife. The Oregon Supreme Court has already ruled that this agency has overstepped its authority by confiscating animals it does not legally control, and this bill is an attempt to get around that ruling. It reportedly plans to ban everything should it receive that authority.

With just a few clicks, you can use the provided message or customize your own, and send it to almost 60 Oregon legislators. It takes a matter of seconds. Please send your own message, and then encourage family, friends, and email lists to do the same. This needs to be done very quickly; without major action SB 804 may be passed within days.

To oppose the bills, simply visit these two pages, enter your email address, and click send. It really is that simple!

also unconnected to this email and a bit off track= The RSCPA have welcomed a group that is trying to ban all breeding of pedigree animals that suffer health problems as a result of their pedigree, IE - flat faced dogs and cats (problems with breathing) Large breed rabbits, long eared rabbits, hairless breed etc.!!
People with nothing better to do!!

Hi filthy_gorgeous yes i would like another female a snow one

Hi

FG
Who are the animal group endorsed by the RSPCA?
I suppose if health is the main issue then it is probably right, but where does it end? Are hairless animals, or large breed rabbits, or long eared rabbits particularly unhealthy?

I do know that some of the rabbit breeds have a lot of problems with teeth as other traits have been given more priority to the detriment of their mouths or so I was told by a vet. That is due to poor breeding skills on the part of the breeders involved and not the fault of the breed itself.

The Oregon bill is very scary for those who have foundations and ALCs and the Savannahs and other hybrids. I presume there is a problem perceived by the authorities there, real or imaginary I am not too sure.
I don't agree with the tiger and alligator living in an apartment in New York or other such tales of wild creatures being cooped up in inappropriate circumstances, but others who keep their animals well being penalised because of the moronic element is not right either. Any bill that bans or prohibits and enables confiscation of any animal (apart from in cruelty cases) is wrong in my book.

I saw the pics of Chuie the serval in Cat World today, I think he is a marvellous beast but what does his future really hold being caged up for the rest of his life, as once he is sexually mature, he will not be lying on the sofa, with the other cats. Even the Exoticatz website says that she keeps her domestic cats away from her adult serval, as even just playing, he could do serious damage.
