Hi Guys
I got this from another list. This is a very scary "anti-cruelty" bill that as usaul has other things added.
This is written by an attorney/dog person that read the bill 
It is a good analysis. Please contact the NJ Federation of Dogs Clubs.

I am also involved with dogs
through the New Jersey Skylands Labrador Retriever Club, and through
 that
club, with the N. J. Federation of Dog Clubs.

Long story short, since my "day job " is being an attorney and because
 of
the buzz I heard, I reviewed the proposed new animal cruelty law for
 New
Jersey ( Assembly bill #A2649 ). While there are some needed provisions
 in
it concerning actual acts of animal cruelty, the bill is packed with
 other
provisions which are anti-pet owner and anti-dog breeder. As it reads
 now,
its provisions
 will end dog shows in New Jersey, and make it extremely
 hard
for breeders to continue as well. It will allow anyone to accuse anyone
 of
animal cruelty, whether true or not, and the accused individuals will
 have
absolutely no legal recourse against those making the complaints, even
 when
the complaints are later shown to be absolutely without any factual
 basis!

This bill is "flying under the radar" because its original focus was
 only
meant to deal with preventing animal cruelty, and people think its
provisions still deal with those issues alone. The American Kennel
 Club,
after reviewing what was in this bill, actually came out with a
 statement on
June 6, 2007, opposing the bill. Now how many times do you think the
 AKC has
actually come out AGAINST a bill which is to prevent animal
 cruelty?
 That
alone says something. My point is people concerned about dog owners and
 dog
breeders in New
Jersey, absolutely need to write their Assembly persons immediately and
 tell
them to vote no against this bill as currently written. I have already
written both my Assembly people, but unless more people start writing
 ASAP,
this bill will pass in the very near future and the dog fancy in this
 state
will be dealt a death blow.

I have attached the legal analysis I did for the President of the N.J.
Federation of Dog Clubs' President, so you can see some of the
 provisions I
am talking about. I have also attached a copy of the actual bill itself
 in
Adobe PDF format, so you can read it directly if you wish.

Please forward this information on to your membership and encourage
 each
 and
every one to contact their N.J. Assembly persons as quickly as possible
 and
tell them to oppose this bill.

Ann, thank you for your kind attention to this letter's content.
