š„AKC LEGISLATIVE ALERTš„
Late last week, Goldieās Act (HR 1788/S 4033), was introduced in the U.S. Senate. This harmful bill:
- Redefines āviolationsā of the federal Animal Welfare Act;
- Allows for immediate seizure or euthanasia of animals suffering from āpsychological harmā, a term it does not define;
- Removes distinctions between minor non-compliances such as paperwork errors and animal care violations. AWA enforcement emphasis should be on the health and welfare of animals;
- Requires posting of images of violations on a publicly accessible database; and
- Undermines the property rights of responsible breeders.
