| WOLF-DOG NEWS UPDATE 9/29/2009 A) This is the last day to stop a Wolf-Ban in California. Anything resembling a Wolf-Dog or is one, will be taken away from the homes of their responsible owners. Gestapo anyone? Here is some ways to help. Sign this petition http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/ca-law-to-ban-wolfdogs-as-of- 11109 Go to this website: http://www.capet.com From WolfPAW Mountain: While it is easy to be irate about the California proposal, keeping a clear mind and temper will help to assure that we as owners, rescuers, fosters or friends of the wolfdog will be taken seriously in this most current battle. This is a life and death matter for the wolfdog – already rescues and fosters are filled to the gill. If a ban is put in place statewide in California – all animals in that state will be at risk. And if it is approved there, your state may be next. Find a wolfdog community on the net and work with them to combat this legislation: http:/wolfdogs.ning.com TALKING POINTS We Are Not Wolves, We Are Not Wild Animals: According to the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA) - “Crosses between wild animal species, such as lions and tigers, are considered to be wild animals. Crosses between wild animal species and domestic animals, such as dogs and wolves or buffalo and domestic cattle,are considered to be domestic animals.” |
