Want a chance to be heard on the issues that affect animal ownership?

This section helps you stay informed, enables you to support proposals you agree with and oppose those that attempt to usurp your rights and unreasonably regulate your responsibilities.

Write letters to the appropriate authorities and to the editors of local newspapers. Distribute these publications to clubs and organizations involved in animal welfare. Speak out when opportunities arise.

Letters to authorities and agencies should state your credentials for expertise in the matter at hand and should be polite but firm. Letters to the editor should be brief and to the point; many newspapers limit letters to 250 words or less.

• Red & black ribbon campaign: Germany banned several breeds and other European countries jumped on the bandwagon. In the US, only Ohio currently has statewide breed-specific legislation, but many cities and other jurisdictions have or are considering laws aimed at dog breeds rather than dog deeds and owner responsibility. The Red & Black Ribbon Campaign is NAIA's fight to eliminate breed-specific legislation and restrictions and replace these unfair laws and rules with generic dangerous dog ordinances that protect the public without condemning dogs by their breed or mix.
  
  
• Anti-terrorism Bill:  In 1998, NAIA issued a "Request for Action" to the US Senate for hearings and action to deal with terrorist crimes committed by animal rights and environmental terrorists. Two bills to achieve many of these goals were introduced in the 106th Congress, one in the Senate and one in the House of Representatives, but neither bill survived. You can help by writing your Congressmen after reading about the recent bill introduced by Representative Duke Cunningham of California.
  
  
• Request for Action - Animal Experts Representing Livestock Production, Farming, Science and Pets Petition US Senate to Focus on Terrorism: After you write your Congressmen to urge support of an anti-terrorism bill, sign and submit the Request for Action to be included in NAIA’s effort to focus national attention on domestic animal rights and environmental terrorism, strengthen the Animal Enterprises Protection Act, and  establish a national clearinghouse to aid law enforcement investigations.
