Save Our Dogs From Legislated Extinction in Iowa

To:  Iowa Legislators, Senators and Representatives

To the Iowa State Legislature,
Senators, and Representatives,

We the undersigned Iowa Constituents hereby petition the Iowa State Legislature to draft a Bill amending SEC. 38A Added 1968, Amendment [25] and SEC. 39A. Added 1978, Amendment [37] which would prevent city and county governments in Iowa from passing breed specific dog ordinances. We ask the Legislature to protect the constitutional property rights of the citizenry. Breed specific dog ordinances restrict, or prohibit property rights in dogs by breed without providing public protection from all dog breeds, thus denying equal protection, and equal treatment under the law. Individual dog owners should be regulated, not whole groups of citizens who own certain breeds. Home Rule cannot be allowed to take precedence over constitutional property rights.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
