The law requires animal rescuers, most of whom are women and many of whom live alone, to post their home addresses and telephone numbers publicly in pounds, open their homes to the public "at reasonable hours" and make their rescue records available to the public upon request. This is bizarre. Not "to (specified government agency)" but "to the public"! What prompted this? Or are Virginia legislators as stupid, arrogant, careless and otherwise indifferent to anything but re-election as legislators in my state?
