Subject: IMPORTANT!!! Nanday Conure ban in Pennsylvania - please call the PA Game Commissioners now
Cross posting permitted.
If you can't attend the Pennsylvania Game Commission hearing 1/27 - 1/29, you can call each of the Game Commission members and voice your opposition to the proposal to prohibit the "importation, possession, sale, and release" of Nanday conures in Pennsylvania. PLEASE CALL NOW. Contact information is provided below.
It is easy to make a call to a representative. A staff member will take your message and pass it along to the representative.
When you call, you can say:
"Hello, my name is [your name]
(and if you live in Pennsylvania, add: [ and I am a constituent from [your town]. }
I want to urge [ representative's name ] to do everything possible to make sure that proposal that is on the Game Commission Agenda for the January 27th to 29th meeting to amend 58 Pennsylvania Code Section 137.1 to prohibit the "importation, possession, sale, and release of non-human primates and Nanday conures in Pennsylvania " DOES NOT PASS. I ASK [ legislator's name ] TO VOTE NO ON THE PROPOSAL.
This issue is very important to me. Thank you."
After making your calls, if you haven't already done so, send an email to the Game Commission at pgccomments@state.pa.us to reiterate your opposition to the proposal to amend 58 Pennsylvania Code Section 137.1 to prohibit the importation, possession, sale, and release of non-human primates and Nanday conures in Pennsylvania.
Finally, please be sure to tell your friends and family about this rare opportunity and how they can help, too.
Thank you for all you do to help us fight for our rights to own and keep all of our animals.
