Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 9:31 AM >Subject: [GTOTCGoodDog] LD429 Pet Vaccine Legislation I received an e-mail that only affects the State of Maine at the moment, but I thought that it would be worthwhile read no matter what state one lives in since it has to do with the health of our dogs. Important vaccine legislation is pending in Maine which is the FIRST IN THE NATION and will require veterinarians to provide vaccine disclosure forms to pet owners BEFORE they vaccinate their animals. The bill, LD 429, An Act to Require Veterinarians to Provide Vaccine Disclosure Forms (
http://www.mainelegislature.org/legi...LD042901-1.asp) has been introduced on my behalf by Representative Peter Rines of Wiscasset and has been vigorously opposed by the Maine Veterinary Medical Association and its members at the public hearing on Thursday, February 28th.
If this legislation passes, it is only a matter of time before other states follow suit. Already pet owners in CT, PA, FL, NV, MO, MN and TX have contacted me saying they are going to ask their legislators to file similar bills. If you support this bill and wish to help in the effort to get it passed (even if you're from out of state), please send the sponsors and committee members, whose e-mail addresses are listed below, an e-mail telling them that you support LD429, An Act to Require Veterinarians to Provide Vaccine Disclosure Forms. This small amount of effort will make an enormous difference (please ask any of your friends or acquaintances to do the same). You can cut and paste the e-mails below into your recipient line and if you put something like "I Support LD429 Vaccine Disclosure" for the subject line, they'll know what it's about. I'd also like to offer anyone copies of my source documentation, which has come from researchers around the world and is unavailable to the general public. It consists of 7 separate e-mails and includes the 2003 American Animal Hospital Association's Canine Vaccine Guidelines, the "Italian" study which showed dogs develop cancerous tumors at vaccinations sites just as cats do, and the "French" study which demonstrated dogs were immune to rabies, by challenge, 5 years after vaccination?
You're free to post all of my material and share it with anyone and everyone! Please let me know if you'd like the studies. Cheers, Kris Christine
