Dear M. Dinzey:

Thank you for writing to share your concerns regarding the Captive Exotic Animal Protection Act. Your opinions are important, and I appreciate the time you took to share them with me.

The Captive Exotic Animal Protection Act would reduce the practice of canned hunting, whereby tame or habituated exotic animals are shot for a fee for entertainment or the collection of a trophy. This legislation would make it a crime to "knowingly transfer, transport, or possess a confined exotic animal, for the purposes of allowing the killing or injuring of that animal for entertainment or the collection of a trophy."

Knowing of your interest in the issue, however, I will consider co-sponsoring the legislation when it is re-introduced. I have already joined a number of my Senate colleagues in signing a letter to the Senate Agriculture Appropriations Subcommittee, urging increased federal funding for the enforcement of those animal welfare laws that have already been enacted.

Please be assured that in the months and years ahead, I will continue to monitor carefully the animal welfare issues that are of concern to New Yorkers. Thank you again for sharing your concerns with me. Please check my website http://clinton.senate.gov for updates on this and other issues being discussed by the United States Senate.

If you would like to respond to my e-mail or contact me via e-mail about this or any other subject, please use my web response form at http://clinton.senate.gov/email_form.html. Because of the size of my constituency and the growing number who choose to communicate through
e-mail, I have selected the web form as the fairest and most equitable system to respond to e-mail messages. E-mails that are sent as a direct response to my outgoing e-mail fall outside the system and do not receive a response.

Sincerely yours,
Hillary Rodham Clinton
