Bill Description: If passed, this bill would require retailers to ensure that young parrots are weaned — able to eat on their own — before the animals are sold to consumers. In addition, the bill establishes basic sanitation, veterinary care and housing standards for birds in pet shops.
We must educate our Legislators who do not understand what it means to share your home with a bird.
YOU MUST SUPPORT THIS! Your diligence will help the 1,000's of abandoned birds that this legislation will help... we all need YOU to help again!
Make a quick PHONE CALL AND EMAIL to the following representatives BEFORE TUESDAY, JANUARY 9th! We need to flood their mailboxes with our concerns. Start every contact with
"I SUPPORT HB4612 and believe parrots should be protected!"
CONTACT ALL OF THESE REP's NOW! DO NOT WAIT!
