Anti-dog bill in MA legislature HB 5092 - FAILED	SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 2008 SARAH PEAKE REPORTED HOUSE BILL 5092 IS DEAD Thank you for your inquiries and letters sent to your representative and members of the Joint Committee on Municipalities.  Read EDOA letter to the committee House Bill 5092 would have demanded unreasonable requirements of dog owners and allowed unfair and unnecessary penalties on dogs by instituting fees and misplacing punishment.  This bill, put forth by an anti-dog interest group, was opposed by EDOA and many other animal welfare groups. .  http://www.mass.gov/legis/comm/j10.htm Read the Bill
