ACTION ALERT! There is a bill circulating in the Wisconsin Legislature that aims to reduce the stray hold for lost pets (dogs and cats) from 7 days to 4 days. This bill will be especially harmful for scared lost cats and community cats because it will enable the shelters and stray holding facilities to kill them on Day 5 if they are deemed "unadoptable". Instead of working to create new progressive Trap Neuter Vaccinate Return ordinances for Wisconsin, the Wisconsin Humane Society and MADACC have chosen to draft and support a bill that will allow the quicker killing of cats in shelters.
We are asking each and everyone of you to call or email your legislators to ask them to NOT support or co-sponsor LB1926/1. If you like, you can copy and paste the following text into an email.
Dear ________,
I am a constituent of your district. Please do not cosponsor or support LB 1926/1 until the provision that would reduce the Wisconsin stray hold is removed. This bill's intent was to improve the outcome for seized dogs and a change in stray hold times for all animals has no place in this bill. Pets are family and preserving the owner/animal bond is very important. Every effort should be made to reunite owners with their pets and the current system is fractured and ineffective. Until input from all of the stakeholders involved, from all around the state (including the public) has been heard - I ask that you do not support this bill.
Thank you,
Sincerely, _________________
