Dog Protection Act Certified to Go Before Voters In Massachusetts
http://www.hsus.org
December 20, 2005
BOSTON – Proponents of a question to protect dogs in the Commonwealth announced today that they have received certification from Secretary of State William Galvin, advancing the measure one step closer to the 2006 ballot.
"This is a key victory for supporters of this humane law," said Tom Adams, Director of Communications for the Animal Rescue League of Boston. "Voters recognize that dogs deserve to be protected from individuals and industries that would do them harm."
The Dog Protection Act will phase out dog racing, strengthen laws against dogfighting, and increase penalties for hurting law enforcement and service dogs. The measure is jointly sponsored by the Animal Rescue League of Boston, greyhound protection group GREY2K USA, the Humane Society of the United States and the MSPCA.
A ballot initiative in November 2000 focused on the single question of dog racing, and was very narrowly defeated in one of the closest elections in state history.
More than 1,500 volunteers statewide collected signatures for the Dog Protection Act. In total, more than 83,000 voter signatures were certified by the Secretary of State.
Campaign leaders expressed confidence that once on the ballot, the Dog Protection Act will be approved. "Once voters learn about this humane law, they will opt for greater protections for thousands of Massachusetts dogs," said Carter Luke, executive vice president of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
"The people of Massachusetts were pioneers in adopting humane laws in the United States," adds Wayne Pacelle, president and CEO of The Humane Society of the United States. "This petition to protect dogs is consistent with the Commonwealth's history of humane reforms and the protection of animals from cruelty and abuse."
Committee to Protect Dogs Chairperson Christine Dorchak said that new state records on greyhound injuries warrant phasing out the sport. "New state records show that hundreds of greyhounds are seriously injured while racing in Massachusetts, including dogs that suffer broken legs, cardiac arrest, seizures and spinal cord paralysis."
