    On Christmas day one boy was killed and two others were mauled by an escaped tiger in California, while another tiger was found shot to death along side an apartment complex in Dallas, TX. Tigers do not belong in backyard cages. Please support Haley's Act HR 1947 or a similar bill to end the breeding of big cats outside of the internationally sanctioned Species Survival Plans administered by accredited zoos.

    With all due respect, the time is now when congress needs to change course and genuinely hears the voice of the people. I speak for multitudes when I say that people have awakened and have grown tired of not being heard. We've grown tired of electing and paying "leaders" who have forgotten that their responsibility is to "serve." Please hear that it is of highest priority that Haley's act be honored.

    This tragedy would never have happened if Congress had made Haley's Act a priority when it was first introduced two years ago. Please make it your priority this year. You can see the video and read the press report here: http://www.bigcatrescue.org/video/b42008/5000reward.htm -Lynn Areno
