TOM GRADY - Nevada State Assembly 38
* Do you or anyone in your immediate family own a dog, cat, ferret, etc.?
Yes, we have a dog and all of our children have dogs and cats.
* Do you or anyone in your immediate family hunt, with or without a dog?
Yes, My son and 2 son in laws
* Do you support any animal rescue organizations or shelters?
Yes, our local group
* Do you philosophically support any animal rights or animal protection organizations? If
so,please identify the organizations.
I have tried to help groups while serving at the legislature that are true "animal groups
and not the PETA type.
* Do any animal rights or animal protection organizations endorse you as a candidate or
financially support your campaign?
Not that I know of.
* 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?
Personal right
* 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?
NO
* Do you support the states' prerogatives to manage their resident wildlife populations
and establish local hunting regulations, without federal interference?
YES
* Do you believe in peoples rights to own (responsibly) any animal of their choice,
regardless of species: exotic or domestic?
I have some conserns with exotic pets. Some people are not trained or able to care for
these cute little animals when they grow up. That is the animals grow up.
* Do you believe it is okay to discriminate against exotic animal owners through unfair
bans?
Not UNFAIR bans, but, someone has to decide what is fair and unfair.
What is your position on the following animal and/or hunting related issues?
a) Hunting, including the use of dogs
Bird Hunting, Yes
b) Fishing
My dog can't fish. To bring them along is great fun and exercise for them and they should
enjoy the great outdoors as the rest of us do.
c) Animal medical research
This area must have some oversight, so the animals are treated responsibly
d) Animal ownership and breeding (including pet & livestock breeding, research animals,
circuses and rodeos)
Full support
