If we made it a felony, there would be lots of opposition, as for the fine, that’s just what everyone was okay with. And, its my understanding the real teeth of this bill is the requirement of restitution.

I have a friend who sent me an email with the comment below.  Why was it decided that this should be a misdemeanor with a fairly low fine?  Thanks for your explanation.

I have many questions on behalf of this bill, one is the cost $100 if they miss treat the dog or handler with the dog/ Then the price goes up to $500.

It seems to me just a slap on the hand, and we as dog handlers will be laughed at.

Then problem doesn't stop.

Just my thought.
