Special Meeting for All Pet Owners and Animal Lovers

Do you or anyone you know ...

Love animals?
Have pets?
Feed outdoor animals?

You should know about a recent court decision that may affect you.

The court has ruled against Prince George's Animal Management, curtailing their policies of restricting citizens' constitutional rights and liberties. This decision will likely affect policies and statutes, as well as judicial decisions all over Maryland.

You are invited to a meeting of the PGFF, SPCA, on Sunday, February 12, 2012, 2 to 4 p.m. at St. Matthew's United Methodist Church on Rt. 450 in Bowie (next to Bowie High School). The well-known Constitutional and Animal Law Attorney, E. Anne Benaroya, will talk about what Animal Management has been doing in violation of residents' civil rights, and explain the impact of the court's ruling on your day-to-day activities.

Meeting:
Sunday, February 12, 2012, 2 to 4 p.m.
St. Matthew's United Methodist Church
14900 Annapolis Rd.
Bowie, MD
(Next to Bowie High School)

PLEASE BE ON TIME: The meeting will begin at 2 p.m. SHARP and for security reasons the building's front entrance will be locked when the meeting starts.
