If signs advertising back yard breeders and puppy millers make you angry, you might want to make up some signs of your own to let your elected officials, local, state, and federal, know that you support humane care standards and laws to protect pets.

       Read what other states are doing to protect pets, and see if your state has pending legislation listed. If so, contact your legislators, and thank them for supporting the legislation or ask them to co-sponsor it. If not, contact your legislators and ask them to consider bills such as (name other states) are working on, or to sponsor ground-breaking legislation of their own. And if your legislator seems to have a history of ignoring or voting against humane legislation, respectfully state your displeasure and ask him why he has voted the way he has.

       You might courteously remind your elected officials that there are, indeed, 'More Pet Lovers than Republicans or Democrats.'
