Legislative ACTION ALERT! OPPOSE HOUSE BILL 1448

A public hearing will be held on Feb. 4th on House Bill 1448 (Relative to Animal Health Certificates and Dogs to be tested for Brucella Canis). Animal Shelters in New Hampshire are opposed to this proposed legislation due to the undue burden it will place on them. The legislation would change the existing quarantine period of 48 hours, which is sufficient to prevent the spread of illness, to an oppressive period of 14 days. The longer animals sit waiting in a kennel, the greater the likelihood that they will become ill. Additionally, the proposed law would require all those transporting dogs into New Hampshire to test for Brucella Canis, an illness that has never been seen in NH. This test is costly and unnecessary. This law would effectively put an end to transporting animals from overcrowded shelters in this country to New Hampshire where they would find loving homes

Here is how you can help us defeat this damaging proposed legislation:

1) Attend the public hearing in Concord next Tuesday, Feb. 4th at 2:45pm in the Legislative Office Building, Room 303. It will be very helpful to fill the room with as many people as possible who are opposed. If you can’t stay for the hearing, it is EXTREMELY beneficial to simply stop in and SIGN IN as OPPOSED.

2) If you can’t be in Concord on Feb 4th, please CONTACT THE ENVIRONMENT AND AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
