I want to say THANKS to all of you are "fighting" every day for our right to have our animals. A special thanks to the Board members for bearing an additional load of responsibility and for digging into any new (or renewed) legislation so we can all know what is happening. I appreciate the hard work of everyone, especially the board members who have an added responsibility to this group. Baba is right- we have to stand united to win this battle. However, from my experiences in volunteer groups, her request to question the Board in private emails can be detrimental to the group. While I am not suggesting rude, inappropriate assaults on the people who have graciously volunteered to lead this group, I don't want the membership not to be able to voice concerns, ask questions, and discuss things OPENLY. Lock arms, stand united- looks like 2010 will be a busy year! Amanda Miller Mobile, AL
