We’ve already established the Free to Be Coalition nationally with events and efforts to protect free speech and viewpoint diversity on college campuses. Now we’d like to expand Free to Be to become a larger movement around protecting freedom in all areas of our lives.
How much is that doggy in the window...errrr, rescue?
At first glance, our animal-loving state appears to be a national leader in saving homeless pets. It’s SO good that we’ve had to “rescue” over 40,000 dogs and cats in the last few years, a 60% increase over previous years, from beyond Colorado to meet demand.
Unfortunately, some of the players calling themselves “rescues” in our state are covers for million-dollar schemes that fail to put the “dog before the dollar.”
Don’t get me wrong, there are amazing people in the animal-welfare world that work tirelessly to care for homeless dogs and cats; they are saints. But there are also some terrible players that prey on people’s love of animals to make big money, and they need to be stopped.
It’s time for our legislature, and PACFA, to lend a paw to our furry friends and right the wrong of retail rescue. #copolitics #coleg
