Virginia Hunting Dog Owner's Association

HB339 Statewide Pet Owner Database Yea v. Nay Votes

Once some delegates had a better understanding of HB339's horrific impacts between the first first and second floor votes, twenty-three days apart, a few changed their positions. We picked up fourteen House votes against it. But we also lost seven. Legislators shown in red below are those whose election campaigns were previously endorsed by the Virginia Hunting Dog Owners' Association. These politicians deserve more scrutiny by their constituents, most especially pet owners.
