After another busy legislative session, we at ICAW have had a chance to take a breath and form some ideas for the upcoming elections and future legislative sessions. When HB1258 died in committee and HB1099 passed resoundingly and becomes law January 1, 2011. ICAW truly understood that this battle with the Animals Rights folks is far from over. Will it be someone new going after Indiana Dog Breeders or someone else with some kind of different attack on quote "Factory Farming"?
We have truly realized we can not sit back and think that nothing else will happen. Too many other states around us are going through their own battle for survival when it comes to pet ownership or the myriad of other livestock issues. Pay attention to Ohio, it could of been Indiana. There is much talk that the Animals Rights folks are going straight to the top and are going to force their agenda even more at the Federal level.
HSUS has what they call their "Humane Scorecard". Starting this year we at ICAW are going to create our own scorecard for Indiana elected officials. It truly is time to let the elected officials of our great state of Indiana know that there is another side of this equation and always will be. We need to let everyone of them know at the ballot box how we feel about past voting records for or against.
We will be publishing a document in the near future featuring a simple thumbs up or thumbs down opinion of our elected officials. We are compiling some ideas for future legislation as well. We whole heartedly ask for your input on both of these topics. Please e-mail us at info@icaw.org with any of your thoughts or ideas about these issues.
We want to take a moment and thank all of the people who thought they had no voice in this battle for our rights, for never giving up. Remember, all of us together can and will Stop Cruelty to Animals and protect our own human rights as well.
