I went to Olympia on the 5th of February and gave a testimony as an owner of 2 dogs of Wolf decent in oppostition to the bill, armed with personal knowledge through ownership, info from owners/rescuers like Kim, and pictures of my "dangerous" lap dogs. Jeanne Hall (citizen) and Dave Coleburn (Predators at the Heart) also testified in opposition. A revisal to the bill has been made to allow owners to keep their wolf dogs until the end of their natural lives and if picked up by Animal Control allowed to be returned to their owners...but the legislation would still stand that makes these dogs illegal. I am fighting this legislation to the best of my abilities from the opposite side of the state.
Senate Bill 5383 (Defining a wolf-hybrid as a "potentially dangerous wild animal")
