.........................Nevada Animal Owner & Sportsmen - Voting Alliance 2010 Questionnaire
Dear Candidate.
As a candidate for office in Nevada you've indicated your views on a number of issues facing voters. The
Nevada Animal Owners & Sportsmen - Voting Alliance (NAOS-VA) would like to better understand your
position and feelings on animal ownership and the outdoor recreation sports of hunting and fishing.
Approximately 13 million Americans are licensed hunters, slightly more than 10% of all registered voters
- anglers are even more numerous, 35 million. Over 60% of all U.S. households have a pet, most
frequently a dog or a cat. These sportsmen and animal owners are under attack. Using the guise of
"Animal Welfare," groups such as the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), Fund for Animals,
ASPCA, Doris Day Animal League (DDAL) and the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)
seek to eliminate or severely restrict many of our existing rights and traditions.
NAOS-VA is a state-wide, non-partisan group of men and women involved in hunting, fishing, and animal
ownership. I'm a NAOS-VA volunteer. Many other voters and I would like to learn more of your opinion
of and relationship with these so called "animal rights" organizations. Please take the opportunity to
review and respond to this questionnaire so that your potential constituents may better know your
opinions on the important topics affecting us.
Kindly reply ASAP if at all possible. If this date isn't feasible for you, please indicate when I may look
forward to your response.
Please fill out our online questionnaire
* Do you or anyone in your immediate family own a dog, cat, ferret, etc.?
* Do you or anyone in your immediate family hunt, with or without a dog?
* Do you support any animal rescue organizations or shelters?
* Do you philosophically support any animal rights or animal protection organizations? If so,
please identify the organizations.
* Do any animal rights or animal protection organizations endorse you as a candidate or financially
support your campaign?
* Should Spaying or Neutering of an animal be controlled by the government through legislation or
should it be left between a veterinarian and their client to decide?
* Do you believe that animal owners should have their status as owners changed to the status of
guardians? As a guardian you do not own your animals, you are strictly a caretaker?
* Do you support the states' prerogatives to manage their resident wildlife populations and
establish local hunting regulations, without federal interference?
* Do you believe in peoples rights to own (responsibly) any animal of their choice, regardless of
species: exotic or domestic?

a) Hunting, including the use
b) Fishing

and rodeos)
....................................................*R*Required field
All candidate responses, with failures to respond noted, will be summarized and distributed to assist voters
in determining which candidates they might support in the upcoming elections. Your timely reply will be
greatly appreciated. Questionnaire responses may be emailed to the Nevada Animal Owners & Sportsmen
