If nothing else this shows there is clout and power in the Pet Industry. Pets and pet owners do and should matter. I have trouble comprehending why that is never a consideration when they try to put Breeders out of business. I always wonder where the Dog and Cat food Companies are on these battles. These pets were killed by tainted pet food and we breeder/ exhibitor/ owners are getting killed with poor Legislation..............??
