    I think this is a wonderful idea & hope the people of Michigan will too.

    What a good idea! You should PM Ramanth, and make sure she sees this!

    This is a great idea. I will contact my Illinois state legislator about starting a similar registry.

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!

    We have a similar bill pending here in New Jersey. I don't know for sure when it might come up for vote in the legislature but will check when I get back to work. From what I understand, support in favor of the bill is tremendous. A few months back, our legislature passed a bill that allows judges to issue protective orders for pets in domestic violence situations.

    After 30 years on the job, I'm going to retire in September. From there I plan to team up with two friends in animal rescue and do legal research for animal welfare. Maybe this can be my contribution to improving the quality of life for animals everywhere.

    Michigan - go for it!!!

    That would be wonderful if New Jersey would enact similar legislation! And Elyse is going to contact her state legislator in Illinois too. How good would that be if these efforts caught on across the nation! (And in other nations too.. )

    And thank you so much, Eileen, for your post-retirement plans of putting your skills to work on behalf of the animals. God bless you!
