DESCRIPTION
On November 3, 1998, the voters of Missouri approved Proposition A, which established penalties for allowing or encouraging the baiting or fighting of animals, including cockfighting and bear wrestling.
This act modifies the exemptions that apply to Proposition A. This act provides that fishing regulated by the Missouri Department of Conservation shall be exempt from the provisions the animal baiting and fighting provisions.
This act also modifies the provision allowing rodeos sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboy's Association by requiring the Department of Agriculture to provide, by rule, a list of approved rodeo practices, including those approved by the Professional Rodeo Cowboy's Association.
DESCRIPTION (continued)
This act also allows the following: transporting animals on roads and highways if the animals are legally taken or purchased; transporting any domestic livestock, farm stock dogs, coon dogs, fox hounds and coyote dogs anywhere in this State; calf pinning with horse or with horse and dog; and calf roping, if the animal is treated humanely.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
