SAOVA LEGISLATIVE AWARDS

SAOVA LEGISLATIVE AWARDS: "'This award was unexpected and I am greatly honored by it. My work on the animal fighting paraphernalia bill came about because of the overwhelming email and phone response I received from dog breeders, trainers and groomers last year. Having been a dog trainer, I understood their concern and knew that gaining support from my fellow legislators to defeat LD 186 was the only way to protect these owners, breeders and trainers from being lumped in with those individuals involved in illegal animal fighting.' Senator Stan Gerzofsky (ME)"
