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!!
