b,



Unfortunately some of the members of the House Natural Resources Committee are actually sponsors of HR-669...They include Abercrombie, Bordallo, Grijalva, Kildee, Kind, Miller and Napolitano. Other sponsors of HR-669 not on the committee are Giffords, A. Hastings, Hinojosa, Klein, McGovern and Rodriguez.



I've already called, emailed and written my congressman who is a member of the committee...



There are several "animal rights" organizations behind this in some form or fashion...In addition to the Humane Society, there is the Defenders of Wildlife. They voice their "scientific" opinions in several methods but their political money is "expressed" via the "Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund".



They are not the largest group of "lobbyists" in DC but, they DO get attention from some of the "like-minded" politicians...Some of which are sponsors of HR-669.



Later,
