Pennsylvania Non-ResidentsPlease forward information about this cruelty to your friends and relatives living in Pennsylvania. Your help is also needed to help publicize this inhumane activity. If you have a blog, Twitter account, or a Facebook page - please do a write-up. Your letters to Pennsylvania newspapers are also needed. Subject: Vote YES on H.B. 1411/S.B. 843 to stop live animal shoots Dear [Decision Maker], I urge you to support H.B. 1411/S.B. 843 to ban the use of animals launched from traps or tethered for target practice. Now that the legislature has passed a budget, I urge you support legislation to end the shooting of animals launched from traps or tethered as targets. Pennsylvania is the last state to openly host live pigeon shoots. These events are only practiced a couple of places in the state with out-of-state shooters making up the bulk of participants. Other states don't tolerate this animal cruelty, and Pennsylvania shouldn't either. There's a shoot almost every weekend this fall, only because Pennsylvania continues to host events for participants who would be prosecuted for animal cruelty if they attended a pigeon shoot in their home state. If you support this legislation, I sincerely thank you and ask that you do anything possible to support a vote considering this legislation. Please vote YES on H.B. 1411/S.B. 843 to stop this animal cruelty. Thank you. |
