The Times article noted that the City council had received 2000 plus letters. Think we across the country can add to that number. Be sure to say you definitely will not enter any dog shows in Long Beach if this goes through. When they amend the bill maybe we can also get them to change things. Evan will be interested that one of the things in the bill is that animal reg folks can enter your premises without a warrant. Thought that was unconstitutional!!! AKC finally did something for breeders BUT again it was spurred by money which they will lose if the folks boycott their shows in 2006 and 2007. Marie K.
