RE: House Bill 1193
House Bill 1193 would
effectively expand the minimum holding period for an adoptable animal to
at least 72 hours and should be used as a base model for all counties in
Pennsylvania. However it is limited to only Second Class and Second Class
A counties.
Legislation like this should be enacted state-wide as a comprehensive
change to the PA Dog Law.
Please consider authoring and/or
supporting a bill like this to change the way our pets are treated in
every county of our state. Sincerely, |
