This should be considered an emergency situation. Thousands upon thousands of animals' lives will be destroyed if this ban is put in place as early as the end of August. I cannot stress the importance of this message. Please, please, PLEASE write and call and do what you can, offer any advice you can, and help us get this ban stopped before it is too late!!!

Please read the ban in its entirety. The following info was gleaned from a list I'm on:

"I urge everyone (especially Chicago residents but also anyone else) to write these two Aldermen and voice your displeasure. A letter is most effective, followed by a phone call and least effective (but still useful) are emails. Also, City of Chicago residents should also write their particular Alderman. Visit
http://www.chicityclerk.com/citycoun...rman/find.html to find your Alderman.

I am providing the contact info for the sponsoring Aldermen.
