You are right, Donna. i am constantly amazed at the number of people that should be in the know but aren't. if we wind up preaching to the choir just remember that even the best choir has to learn to sing together and learn new songs once in a while <G> peggi --- On Wed, 7/1/09, Djsdosido@xxxxxxx <Djsdosido@xxxxxxx> wrote: From: Djsdosido@xxxxxxx <Djsdosido@xxxxxxx> Subject: [accmemberdiscussion] Re: Humane Staff Support yahoo group To: accmemberdiscussion@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Wednesday, July 1, 2009, 3:37 PM Some of them are not. But I have been surprised at the ones I thought would be savvy and aren't. Not everyone connected with kennel clubs or dog clubs or "in" dogs understands the problem. And the average dog owner, as we know, doesn't. Creates quite a lot of educational opportunities, doesn't it? Donna In a message dated 7/1/2009 12:50:13 P.M.

By several different means. Some have invited us to speak to their membership which we have done. Others we never heard back from. Donna In a message dated 6/30/2009 2:28:08 P.M.

As far as the terrorist reference, I am teasing you. I agree many of their methods are terrorist methods but I don’t think “all” shelter workers are AR or terrorists.

Have the Kennel and Obedience clubs in the state been individually approached about a speaker addressing the general membership at one of the monthly meetings? i'm fairly new here so don't know what has been tried already. peggi - Donna & the Dosido Gang Remlap, Alabama Every year of dog love is worth seven years of the human stuff.
