DOG SELLERS LAW (ACT 90) PART 2 OF 3 Lee J Schneider, Pet Journal Editor lschneider@petjournalmidwest.com Last month in Pet Journal we brought you some background on the new Dog Sellers Law (Act 90) written by Kathy Pobloskie of Wisconsin Voters for Companion Animals. This month we have two Rescues and two Humane Societies giving their comments on Act 90 both good and bad, as well as some pointers on what could be changed to make the law better. Next month we will hear from several breeders and veterinarian’s regarding the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI). As mentioned in last month’s article, our Facebook group has, for some time been engaged in a lively discusion regarding Act 90. After publishing last months article, a question was raised by several group members regarding Mrs. Pobloskie credentials. What follows is an excerpt from her bio on the WI Voters for Companion Animals website: “Kathy has a diploma in forest technology as well as a background in newspaper management. She has owned, raised, and trained horses for almost 25 years. She is currently a full time animal welfare advocate, volunteering for national and local organizations. This experience has led her to believe that true change for the animals will come from better legislation and stricter enforcement of existing laws. She feels that providing voters with credible data will help them make informed decisions at election time. This will speed the passage of better animal laws and convince our politicians that humane legislation is an important, bi-partisan issue for Wisconsin citizens.”

For our first statement, we hear from Cheryl Rosenthal of the Oshkosh Area Humane Society. The passing of Act 90 has been a winwin-win for the Oshkosh Area Humane Society, the dogs in our care, and the community.
