From the NRA:
Soros and Bloomberg money behind this push that would allow, by a constitutional amendment, to ban hunting, fishing, even the owning of pets, horses, etc.
VOTE NO on Amendment 13
Amendment 13, while claiming to stop betting on greyhound racing, has a hidden agenda that could lead to a ban on hunting and fishing.
Animal rights extremists are pushing this amendment to establish a legal foothold in the Florida Constitution that can be used to ban legitimate activities involving all animals -- including pet ownership.
Amendment 13 includes the phrase: “The humane treatment of animals is a fundamental value of the people of the State of Florida.”
The above language will not appear on the ballot BUT IT IS IN THE AMENDMENT and it is dangerous.
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), is the lead organization pushing for Amendment 13’s passage. HSUS opposes hundreds of common and traditional activities involving animals because they claim they are “inhumane.”
In fact, the list of activities HSUS and other animal extremist organizations find objectionable is huge and includes hunting, fishing, farming, animal husbandry, marine parks, owning an animal as a pet. That’s what this is really about.
Many believe the first action of these extreme animal rights groups
will be to immediately seek bans on hunting and fishing.
Make no mistake, training, owning and using working dogs including military dogs, cattle dogs, seeing-eye dogs, companion dogs, police dogs, or any animal that gives aid, protection, safety or comfort could be challenged as “inhumane” if Amendment 13 passes.
If you own an animal that has become a member of your family, watch out for Amendment 13. It could shatter your way of life if some animal rights organization decides to challenge the right to own an animal or have an animal in your home or on your property by calling it “inhumane.”
Your absentee ballot will be arriving soon and whether you are voting absentee, early voting or at the polls on Tuesday, Nov. 6, 2018
VOTE NO to Amendment 13
Amendment 13 needs to be defeated to protect your rights and the preservation of true animal protection in the field and at home.
Don’t Forget to:
Vote Ron DeSantis for Governor!
Matt Caldwell for Florida Commissioner of Agriculture!
Ashley Moody for Florida Attorney General!
Jimmy Patronis for Florida Chief Financial Officer!
