To the Honorable Martin David Kiar;

I am writing to you because I am very concerned about HB 101.  I strongly disagree with Rep. Thurston’s belief that banning certain dog breeds will curb dangerous dog behavior. It doesn’t make sense to cull the canine  poplulation to eliminate thousands of wonderful pets just because of the  behavior and lack of pet-ownership responsibility of some dog owners.  Perhaps we should be looking at stronger pet owning licensing requirements & accountability; however, eliminating non-aggressive animals just because they were born a specific breed is cruel, unjust and ineffective. Get to the source - train the people & hold them accountable. Have breeding of dogs restricted, and encourage spay & neuter programs & dog training/dog behavior education. Dog is man’s best friend - let’s show them some respect.

Sincerely,

Beth N

Thank you for your email.  I agree with you completely and I will absolutely oppose HB 101.  It is a bad and unfair bill.  Have a great day.

Take care,
