Animal lovers should contact members of the Rhode Island

\n“Yes” vote on

\n2011 – S 0091<\/a> that would mean companion animals in shelters
\nlive, instead of die.<\/strong><\/div>\n

INFORMATION \/ TALKING POINTS<\/strong><\/div>\n
A call to action! Groundbreaking legislation has been
\nintroduced in Rhode Island. The bill would make it illegal for
\nshelters in Rhode Island to kill animals if rescue groups are
\nwilling to save them, and unless and until: <\/strong><\/div>\n
The holding period for the animal has expired; and<\/strong><\/div>\n
There are no empty cages, kennels or other living environments
\nin the shelter suitable for the animal; and<\/strong><\/div>\n
A foster home is not available through another municipal or
\nprivate animal shelter or Rhode Island incorporated animal
\norganization; and<\/strong><\/div>\n
Another municipal or private animal shelter or Rhode Island
\nincorporated animal organization is unwilling to accept the
\nanimal; and<\/strong><\/div>\n
The animal care or control manager of the animal shelter has
\ncertified that the above conditions have been met and that
\nhe\/she has no other reasonable alternative <\/strong><\/div>\n
The law is based on a section of the Companion Animal
\nProtection Act, model legislation from the No Kill Advocacy
\nCenter. Versions of CAPA have been passed in California and
\nDelaware and have been introduced in Texas. It is already facing
\nopposition from shelters and their apologists who call it “labor
\nintensive.” In short, they do not want to have to work hard or
\ndo their jobs even though that is the job entrusted to them by
\nthe animal lovers of Rhode Island and it would mean animals
\nlive, instead of die. <\/strong><\/div>\n
Thank you for everything you do for animals!<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
