Missouri Humane Day 2010
The Seventeenth Annual Humane Day is scheduled for Tuesday, April 20, 2010. This year, we are very excited to announce the "Dogs Can't Vote...You Can" Art Exhibit as a part of Humane Day. (For more information on this exhibit, visit www.maal.org)
Humane Day is a day when humane organizations and individuals from around Missouri gather in Jefferson City. It is an excellent opportunity to present animal welfare issues to all legislators. Display tables from assorted rescue and animal welfare groups are set up around the rotunda and legislators, staffers and members of the general public are able to visit the booths to learn about the work being done by and on behalf of animals in Missouri. In addition, we encourage anyone attending Humane Day to take this opportunity to meet with your legislators and to introduce yourself as one of their constituents, informed and concerned about animal welfare.
If you would like to participate in Humane Day as a group or individual, please RSVP today at 314.361.3944 or by e-mail at mail@maal.org. Although we will accommodate everyone who expresses interest, space is limited and reservations for table space will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Missouri Alliance for Animals Legislation - Update
So far the legislative agenda has been dominated by the Puppy Mill Initiative and working defensively to ward off potentially harmful legislation.
The main focus this session has been House Joint Resolution 86, which has passed the House and was voted out of the Senate Agriculture Committee last week with substitute language. The Alliance is concerned about the unintended consequences this constitutional amendment could have not only on the puppy mill initiative but also on the entire citizens' initiative process as provided for in our state constitution. They are working with Senators to make changes to make changes to this resolution.
House Bill 1747, sponsored by Rep. Jim Viebrock, has also passed the House. This bill attempts to get around federal restrictions on meat inspectors working in horse slaughtering plants and allows for horse slaughter in Missouri for the purpose of producing meat for human consumption. The legislation will now head to the Senate for their consideration. The Alliance is watching this bill especially closely because it has been amended with statutory language that targets the Puppy Mill Initiative.
They are awaiting hearings for their dog fighting bills, SB 664 (Sen. Scott Rupp) and SB 632 (Sen. Jane Cunningham), which were filed early and have been assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Both bills increase the penalty from a misdemeanor to a felony for the second offense of being a spectator at a dog fight. They also require a hearing within 30 days to determine what happens to the animals that are seized. This would allow the dogs to be rehabilitated and adopted into good homes more quickly.
A hearing has been held on one of their large carnivore bills. House Bill 1288, sponsored by Rep. Mike Sutherland, would create a program of regulation within the Department of Agriculture for owners of large carnivores and would require liability insurance, caging restrictions, and other important standards. Rep. Sutherland's bill will most likely be included in the House's omnibus agriculture legislation. We are still awaiting a hearing on Senate Bill 832, sponsored by Sen. Tom Dempsey.
