When she and the dog go to the kennel (I have a kennel who boards them both for me if I go away), I'd need papers just to get her there. If I took her up the road for a walk, I guess I'd need papers for her. Are these people even LISTENING to themselves when they come up with this crap? Even to the average perso, this has to sound ridiculous. If they're worried about disease spreading, you've got more chance of humans spreading sickness than animals. Ever been in a school bus alone when the cold or flu is going around? And in an area school here, they're scurrying around because some kid came down with a contageous menangitis (spelled correctly...I hope...)and now they're trying to locate all he came in contact with. <i>[Not only that but the bill authorizes the WSDA to do random road blocks to check your vehicles for unregistered animals.

I wonder why the exceptions for fish and insects? From Apps.Leg.Wa.Gov Definitions:

“Animal” means all members of the animal kingdom except humans, fish, and insects.

The companion House Bill 1310, identical to SB 5204, is scheduled for a hearing one week from today; Thursday, Feb. 1st at 10:00 a.m. in the John L. O'Brien Building, Olympia, WA, House Hearing Room B. We need people to show up at this meeting and sign in against the bill. Statute RCW 16.57.245 already on the books, states: AUTHORITY TO STOP VEHICLES CARRYING CATTLE OR HORSES. "The director (of AG) or any peace officer may stop vehicles carrying cattle or horses to determine if the livestock being transported are accompanied by a certificate of permit, inspection certificate, self-inspection certificate, or other satisfactory proof of ownership, AS DETERMINED BY THE DIRECTOR. If HB 1310 &#38; SB 5204 pass it will allow NAIS in through the back door, if the director decides NAIS is the proof you must have. These bills allow the dept of ag to set up check points and fine you $1,000 per animal if you do not have the correct proof of ownership. You will be forced to comply or you will not be able to use the public roads to transport your animals.
