Hi All ~
Bob Rodgers DVM needs our help. Please, it's critical to the health of our
companion animals.
See Dr Bob's letter below and please feel free to post this far and wide.
This is very important to us all for the fact that if this vaccine reform bill
gets passed, we can then use it as a precedent in order to have the laws
changed in our respective states as well.
Vaccinosis is a very real thing, this reform is a huge step towards improving
the health, and therefore the quality of life, of our beloved companion
animals
Joyous Howls,
Camille Christie - Lupangelicus for a Divine Dog
Dear Fellow Pet Lovers,
I have created this e-mail list especially for people whom I hope will be
willing to help me advocate for vaccination reform. If you do not want to be
on this e-mail list, please notify me at
drbob@critterfixer.com and I will
promptly remove your name.
I am asking for your help, in writing letters.
As you know, I have asked the Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical
Examiners, who's duty it is to protect the public, to take a leadership role
in stopping the common practice of administration of vaccinations which are
unnecessary, provide no benefit for the pet, and are potentially harmful.
They have
repeatedly refused or have made suggestions which have been ineffective.
(See the
complaint and open letter response in the library on my web site:
www.critteradvocacy.org ).
I have taken this complaint to the Texas Sunset Commission, a commission of 12
State Senators and Representatives who over-see the State Veterinary Board.
They have directed the Vet Board to take
action to
stop unnecessary vaccinations and will introduce legislation to address this.
These Texas lawmakers have proposed legislation to prohibit unnecessary
vaccines and reform the way DVMs obtain CE to avoid conflict of interests.
Veterinarians in Texas are lobbying against this reform.
I AM ASKING FOR YOUR HELP IN WRITING
LETTERS TO THESE LAWMAKERS TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.
It does not matter if you don't live in Texas.
<< Letters MUST be received by these
lawmakers by July 9th.>>
The proposed legislation, and a list of the law makers is on my web site
(effective 6/28/04), along with a sample letter/petition I would like you to
sign and
e-mail back to me.
THESE EFFORTS CANNOT SUCCEED WITHOUT YOUR HELP.
YOUR HELP IS
VITAL.
I have also posted on my web site (effective (6/28/04)), a link to my slide
presentation, which reviews the literature to support reduced vaccination
protocols.
Please take a look and help me spread the word about this very informative
slide presentation.
Sincerely,
Bob Rogers, DVM
