7 to 3!!!!!
History was made again today as we passed through the Senate Judiciary Committee with an amendment to make the penalties for cockfighting and attending a cockfight a misdemeanor on the first offense and a fourth-degree felony on the the second and subsequent offenses. Now, it is on to the Senate floor for a full vote.
Thank you to all of APV's members and supporters that came our today to support the ban on cockfighting. We couldn't do it without all of you!
Please stay tuned for more updates and don't forget we have another important hearing on one of our other bills, the Animal Sheltering Services Act, at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, February 7th. If you haven't already called your legislator in the House Health and Government Affairs Committee, please do so now! Follow this link to look up your legislator: http://legis.state.nm.us/
