Oklahoma SB1130 update - Voices are being heard in Oklahoma!!! Opposition to SB1130 hit our Oklahoma City News Nine www.kwtv.com last night. For those interested and going through the same ordeal in their state listed below is link to the video. Kelly Ogle, who does “My Two Cents" commentary did an excellent job! This bill was also discussed at length on KTOK 1000 a local talk radio. Please forgive me as I didn't get her name, but a past AKC Judge spoke and she definitely had her "ducks in a row" presenting the facts/failure of this ridiculous bill. Once again as a reminder this bill does nothing to help the over population of animals and only hurts the AKC Exhibitor/Show Breeders and Pure Breed Rescues/Animal Shelters by additional fees, and flooding rescues/shelters with more dogs which will be bred to cover the costs of licensing back yard breeders & puppy mills! Folks, this PETA exploit isn’t unique to Oklahoma but numerous other states as well; also pending legislation is Texas and Virginia. These bills are well thought-out strategies & backdoor tactics. Please continue your opposition emails/phone calls. The official website (and email addresses for Oklahoma legislators) is www.lsb.state.ok.us.
Senator Helton's (author/introduction of the bill) email address is: jonesl@lsb.state.ok.us
