* Do you or anyone in your immediate family own a dog, cat, ferret, etc.?
Yes, my daughter in LA owns a Dog and my daughter in New York owns a Cat.
* Do you or anyone in your immediate family hunt, with or without a dog?
I never have hunted. I never had the opportunity. I have always lived in big cities.
* Do you support any animal rescue organizations or shelters?
ASPCA. I did in New York and LA
* Do you philosophically support any animal rights or animal protection organizations? If
so,please identify the organizations.
I support any and all organizations that care for and respect the value that animals bring
to our country.I specially care for the group that trains seeing eye dogs.
* Do any animal rights or animal protection organizations endorse you as a candidate or
financially support your campaign?
Not as yet.
* 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?
This process should be left to the 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?
No. Your animal belongs to you. You cared for and feed your animal as a member of your
family, which I believe all animals are.
* Do you support the states' prerogatives to manage their resident wildlife populations
and establish local hunting regulations, without federal interference?
All States should manage and regulate wildlife themselves. I do not want the federal
government to come in and try to take over from the states.
* Do you believe in peoples rights to own (responsibly) any animal of their choice,
regardless of species: exotic or domestic?
Yes, as long as they are responsible.
* Do you believe it is okay to discriminate against exotic animal owners through unfair
bans?
No. As long as they act responsible to the community.
What is your position on the following animal and/or hunting related issues?
a) Hunting, including the use
I believe people should be able to hunt as long as they hunt responsibly.
b) Fishing
People should fish responsibly.
c) Animal medical research
We have used Animals in research to find cures for many diseases I believe if it is done
humanely then I am for it.
d) Animal ownership and breeding (including pet & livestock breeding, research animals,
circuses and rodeos)
Yes, I believe this is o.k. If they have treated the animals well.
