Reader Opposes Pet Trust Legislation in Connecticut

On Thursday, March 12, in the Ridgefieldpress.com, a reader responded to a follow–up story that I posted about here on March 11.2009.

The reader’s response is to the filing of a bill in the Connecticut Legislature by State Senator Toni Boucher calling for the introduction oa statutory Pet Trust.

The readers comment is below:

2009-03-1206:37:37 You kidding me? The world is falling apart and Boucher is worried about trust funds for dogs? People can't pay their mortgages and she's working to make sure Fido doesn't run out of Grey Poupon! This is why we elected her to the Senate?"

Let us know your response.

The economy is a major reason why people should be worrying about things like the care of their pets after they are gone. If everyone else is hurting financially then they cannot depend on friends and family to just willingly care for their animals. As I understand it, a pet trust will pay for the care of the animal instead of adding an additional burden on another person. Whether or not the statute is a priority at this time. It needs to be done. It is part of the whole picture.
