The bill introduced last year by Thaddeus McCotter, the 11th District Congressman, to provide a tax deduction of up to $3,500 for pet related expenses is gaining traction in cyberland.

The Republican’s plan is winning with pet lovers — over 130,000 reports the Examiner.com. That’s because the bill has been supported by groups like D.E.L.T.A. Rescue, The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the Humane Society of the United States.

Meanwhile, McCotter continues to oppose health care reform for human beings.
