Citizens for Pets in Condos has a petition for you to sign to allow home

owners in Florida to have pets. Thousands of senior citizens in Florida

have been denied the opportunity to improve their health and well-being

with pet companionship in dwellings they own. Private home ownership

should allow responsible persons to keep pets.

 

Our web site has lots of information on the health benefits of pet

companionship - <http://mywebpages.comcast.net/maidawg/petpetition.htm>

We are trying to get 10,000 signatures to go to the new state of Florida

Condo Ombudsman (in the Division of Florida Land Sales, Condominiums &

Mobile Homes.) People outside of Florida may also sign the petition.
