OPPOSE SB 3850 — TN TAX on Pet Vaccinations

To voice your opposition to this state-added fee on vaccination certificates, please contact the following committee members by Tuesday morning (4/13/10). Be polite but tell them that this is a public safety issue. If they add additional fees to pet vaccinations there will be people who will not vaccinate their pets. That means an increase in the odds that someone in Tennessee will get rabies. You can ask them if it will happen in their district. How are they going to explain a case of rabies to their constituents or to the media?
