IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED IN TEXAS!
Please contact ALL members of the Committee below and ask them to OPPOSE TX
HB 3747, the Animal Abuser Registry Bill.
HB 3747, establishing an "Animal Abuser Registry" in Texas (comparable to
the human "Sex Offenders Registry"), is scheduled for a public hearing at
the Capitol this Monday, April 29, in the House Criminal Jurisprudence
Committee, Room E2.036 (on adjournment). If you can attend, please contact
our RPOA Austin Area Chapter Chairman, George Armstrong, at
sundownms@att.net . Time is not available until Monday, but likely will be
6:00 pm or 7:00 pm.
We defeated this legislation in Texas last session, but it is a major plank
in the national "animal rights" legislative agenda to achieve "personhood"
for animals -- removing their "property" status. So they're back in their
ongoing, never ending attempt to legislate animal ownership out of
existence!
