Calling All Animal Loving Activist! This will only take a second...
Get ready to take action, Washington animal advocates! With your help, we can put an end to breed discrimination by insurance companies.
Sponsored by Representative Tom Campbell, House Bill 1105 would prohibit discrimination against insurance applicants based on their breed of dog. Currently, families who have had coverage for years may suddenly be informed by their insurance companies that they will no longer be covered, even though no claim has ever been made. These decisions are often based solely upon the determination that certain breeds or breed mixes are “dangerous” or “vicious.”
A hearing on HB 1105 is scheduled for a vote before the House Insurance, Financial Services & Consumer Protection Committee on Thursday, January 25, at 8:00 A.M., so it is urgent that you let members of this Committee know that you support this humane legislation that will protect responsible dog owners.
Please contact your legislators today and urge their support of HB 1105. And thank you so much for caring about animals.
