Stopping any hunting with dogs is next in every State if HSUS has it's way.
Am I Reading This Right Hb154
A bill in Kentucky will bring their animal fighting law in line with the majority of other states. Currently in Kentucky, only the owner of a four legged animal used in a fight, owner of the property where the fight is held, and organizers of a fight may be charged with a Class-D felony. HB 154 would expand that to “any person who knowingly owns, possesses, keeps, breeds, trains, sells, or otherwise transfers a four-legged animal for the purpose of that animal or its offspring being used to fight for pleasure or profit is guilty of cruelty to animals in the first degree.” The law would be more inclusive as to who may be charged for participating in animal fighting. An amendment has also been put forth to remove the description “four-legged” so that chickens would be included as well.
ABOUT HALF WAY DOWN IT STAYES IT WOULD EXPAND ANY PERSON WHO OWNS ETC AN ANIMAL OR OFFSPRING USED FOR FIGHTING FOR PLEASURE.
I SEE NO WHERE IT SAYS FIGHTING DOG,IT SAYS ANYONE OWNING AN ANIMAL. MY DOG KILLING A COON IS FOR PLEASURE AND I AM GUILTY. WHY CAN UKC NOT SEE THIS? It is opening up a whole can of worms.
