Obama is a co-sponsor of measures to stop horse slaughter, upgrade the penalties for animal fighting, and crack down on dogfighting.  He has had a strong record for animals in both the Illinois State Senate and the U.S. Senate. Read more about his responses to the Humane Society Legislative Fund’s questionnaire in my longer entry, “Barack Obama and the Dog-acity of Hope.”         THOUGHTS ABOUT THE 2008 ELECTION...  We are sorry to lose DINA TITUS in the Nevada Legislature and wish her luck in her Congressional race.  She has been a champion of animal legislation in the legislature and has been a guest speaker several times for our annual rescue conferences.  Also a BIG thank you to Assemblyman MARK MANENDO for sponsoring one of the bill drafts requiring disclosure of applicable sterilization laws and to Assemblyman JERRY CLABORN for being willing to sponsor this bill.  And, another huge supporter of animals is Senator RANDOLPH TOWNSEND, who we would love to have speak at our 2009 Animal Rescue Conference.  If you're not sure where your Nevada Legislators stand on animal issues such as Spay/Neuter and Cruelty, please contact them and find out.  Visit the link below and click on "Who's my legislator?
